About
Hi! My name is Raymond. Iโm a mission-driven software engineer interested in using technology to solve problems and improve the lives of others. I take a human-centered and pragmatic approach to software development and I believe in iteration and feedback over perfection. I most enjoy working on the front end, though I have worked across the stack and can put on other hats when necessary. On top of coding, I have experience leading projects, organizing timelines, and collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders (product, design, operations, marketing, etc).
Technologies I have experience with:
- JavaScript, HTML, CSS
- React, Redux, TypeScript, Flow
- Vite, Webpack
- ESLint, Prettier
- Storybook, Figma
- Jest, React Testing Library, Enzyme
Currently Iโm a Front End Engineer on the Platform team at Gem ๐. I lead development of our internal design system and front end tooling. My background is in Human-Computer Interaction from Stanford ๐ฒ. I currently reside in San Francisco, and in my free time I enjoy practicing yoga, lifting heavy things, visiting national parks, reading sci-fi, doing crosswords, traveling to new countries, and going to concerts.
Thanks for reading! Hereโs a picture of me petting an incredibly soft llama:
