Nicholas SzetoFull Stack Developer
Determined individual for self and peer improvement
As a software developer, I love problem solving and like to create anything that would bring any amount of impact to others. Whether or not that impact is very miniscule or not, I make sure anything that I am involved with is up to as high standards as possible while having the mindset to be improve.
I aspire to be the best software engineer possible. No matter the situation I keep in mind to be consistent in who I am and everything I set my mind on. Always up for self and peer improvement no matter the scale. Anything significant wasn't built in a day, so my philosophy is to be as dependable as possible to build and improve one small step at a time.
