about me
Hi-ya! My name is Richard and I'm passionate about developing web applications. My journey into software development began back when I was a wee lad trying to install mods for my favorite game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. After many manual script merge attempts and corrupted game saves, I realized I really enjoy digging deep and working with computers to make magical things happen.
Since then, I've expanded my knowledge through various avenues: a start-up accelerator program for students, student organizations, and, of course, personal projects. My previous experience includes developing RESTful APIs and friendly interfaces for complex user management over at HCSS. Currently, I am honing my skills as a Software Engineer II at JPMorgan Chase, developing investment banking tools for internal users, built using .NET, Python, React, and AWS.
Here are some technologies I've picked up along the way:

So, you've got to know a bit about me. Let me get to know you! I enjoy talking about virtually anything, especially tech-related goodies. If you have a project you want me to help with, reach out to me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
