hi! i'm shawn.

> ABOUT ME <

I’m someone who learns quickly, adapts naturally, and works with intent. Whether I’m joining a team or taking on a new challenge on my own, I approach each situation with observation, reflection, and action. I believe in getting the job done with accuracy and focus while staying calm, even under pressure. In both my professional and personal life, I aspire to be the person others can turn to when they need help; whether that means solving a problem or just being a shoulder to lean on. I’m ambitious, inspired by the people around me, and always looking for ways to grow. If I don’t know something yet, I’ll teach myself-I’ve never had an issue learning quickly and adapting on the spot. That said, I don’t believe in “faking it till I make it”; if there’s a new skill I want to engage in, I won’t pretend to know it, I will put in the effort to learn it properly through research and practice.

Currently I am a junior level front-end developer with a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with growing expertise in Python and React. As of now I’m passionate about creating responsive, visually appealing web experiences. My journey started when I was 14. I learned Python v2, building a very crude text-based adventure game. Fast-forward to 2020, Covid-19 happens, and I'm graduating from high school at the same time. Being stuck at home with no school or job, I decide to continue my passion and pick up coding again, only this time I take a different approach-web design. Since then, I have been building up my experiences with the same languages. Eventually, my dream is to move into mobile app development.

I value being open-minded, dependable, and self-aware. Furthermore, I work hard—even when things get difficult or tiring—and I know when to take things seriously and when to enjoy the process. I’m excited to bring these qualities with me wherever I go.
