01.About

Hello! I'm Jay C, a software engineer based in Los Angeles, CA.

I like creating meaningful applications, whether that be websites, mobile apps, or anything in between. My goal is to build functional, interactive, and accessible products that provide pixel-perfect, performant experiences.

Here are a few technologies I've been working on recently:

  • JavaScript (ES6+)
  • HTML & CSS
  • React
  • React Native
  • TypeScript
  • GraphQL
  • Git
  • Docker
  • Kubernetes
