About

Hi! My name is Raymond. I’m 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 I’m a Front End Engineer on the Platform team at Gem 💎. I lead development of our internal design system and front end tooling. My background is in Human-Computer Interaction from Stanford 🌲. 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! Here’s a picture of me petting an incredibly soft llama:
