About Me

Hi! Welcome to my site. I'm Julianna and I'm a full stack software engineer. I recently graduated from University of California, Irvine with a degree in computer science. I chose computer science because I like to bring ideas to life. That's why in college I joined a 2-person startup and helped build their web application, added new features, and eventually built their integrations in Microsoft Teams and Slack from 0 to 1! All of these projects, I continue to maintain alongside the CEO. I've really enjoyed bringing huge projects to life and to real users. Now, I hope to get the opportunity to bring my enthusiasm and experience to a bigger pond. Checkout my resume and projects below and reach out if you're looking for someone who can hit the ground running, bring a positive energy, and ask the right questions.
