Born in Burma (also known as Myanmar) and relocated to San Francisco at the age of 15, I am an Accountant turned Software Engineer with a passion for React and JavaScript. My journey into the world of technology began at a young age when my aunt opened an internet café, sparking my fascination with computers. Recently, a friend recognized my talent for identifying patterns, which led me to successfully unravel the Fibonacci sequence and ignited my pursuit of software engineering.I possess additional skills in Python, TypeScript, SQL, PostgreSQL, and various web development frameworks such as Flask, Express, and Node.js. With experience in Git, GitHub, and Agile methodologies like Scrum, I'm well-equipped to contribute to collaborative software projects.When I'm not immersed in coding, I enjoy various hobbies. Solving puzzles and tackling challenges, particularly number-related ones like Sudoku, always keeps my brain engaged. Additionally, I'm an adventurous eater who loves exploring new cuisines. In my downtime, you can find me gaming or spending time with friends. Being a fervent soccer fan, I always find joy in cheering for my favorite team in the Premier League.Feel free to learn more about me through my portfolio: simonmtan.github.ioExplore my GitHub profile for a closer look at my projects: https://github.com/SimonMTanAdditional Skills: Node.js | SQLAlchemy | Sequelize | HTML5 | CSS5 | R | Redux | JEST | StoryBook | GraphQL | FastAPI
