Hi, I'm David.
I'm a Fullstack Developer
from UC Berkeley.
About
Before I dove into a life of development, I taught improvisational theory piano at UC Berkeley, kickstarted a band, and performed in venues around the Bay Area.
In May 2022, I received my B.S. in Business Administration from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. I continued my education to receive my second Bachelors in Computer Science from the College of Engineering in December 2022. Since then, I've interned at startups around the Bay Area, working in both Fullstack and Frontend Development roles.
In my spare time, I love to explore new frameworks and technologies. I'm currently building web apps using Next.js and Tailwind.css (such as this portfolio) and exploring the usage of AI integrations.
I still compose and play piano around the area occassionally. I imagine I'll teach again in my old age.
Experience
What I'm Learning Now...
Currently learning to build modern web apps with Next.js and Tailwind.css, as well as exploring OpenAI integrations. Always leetcoding from time to time. Recently built a mock-financial dashboard through the Next.js Fullstack Course.
