Hey,
I'm Sean
What I Love
Ever since I was young, I loved fiddling with anything tech, so naturally most of the things I'm passionate about are centered around tech. I enjoy the process of solving problems on my own, so when I broke my iPod in middle school, my first instinct was to pull up a YouTube tutorial and buy my own replacement parts. When I didn't want to share a computer with my parents, I built my own. Nowadays when I'm not coding (JavaScript is my favorite language), I enjoy playing video games and stretching my creative mind through photography.
What I've Done
Resume
Columbia University in the City of New York
Front-End Development Intern, Summer 2018
New York, New York
This summer was a rite of passage into the professional world. My work on a new web application for Rolling Deck to Repository taught me how to work in a small team where I needed to be independent and self-motivated. The trust my teammates had in me was a pleasant suprise that boosted my confidence in my own abilities and helped me not only do my job, but also go beyond what was expected.
New York University
B.A. in Computer Science, expected Dec 2019
New York, New York
NYU has presented with me a completely new scale and diversity of opportunities. Though thriving in a city that won't hesitate to leave you behind might be challenging, my experience in Encounter Christian Fellowship has taught me the importance of community. My tenure as treasurer and social media head affirmed that qualtity comes from both an attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to what you love. NYU showed me what I love, instilled within me a heart for learning, challenged me to expand and adjust my views and surrounded me with a diverse pool of inspiring individuals.
Projects
Notepad
Jan 2020 - Present
Notepad is a rich text editor that is coupled with a user created dictionary of items that can be referenced within notes using a Facebook mentions-like feature. My goal is to create a product catered towards a niche audience of dungeons and dragons quest masters. With added element types and dictionary item previews, it could become a handy tool for planning quests.
Boom Boom Bois
November 2019 - Present
Boom Boom Bois is a continuation of my final project for my iOS programming class senior year. It is a 2D local multiplayer arcade game that allows up to 4 players to battle each other on one device. I loved the idea behind the game and plan to iron out the features and functionality in order to release it to the app store and play with all my friends.
What I Value
Never Stop Learning
Never Stop Dreaming
Believe In Change
Every Problem Has A Solution
Relentlessly Search For That Solution
Do What You Love And Love What You Do
Always Ask "Why?"
But Don't Be Afraid Of Answering "Why Not?"
Never Be Satisfied With Yourself
But Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously
Broadening My Perspective
I would rather die of passion than boredom. - Vincent van Gogh
In my free time, I love to take photos, whether I'm capturing memories or trying to find beauty in seemingly mundane objects of life. Photography has been a medium that allows me to connect with people and share ideas. My passion for photography has helped shaped how I see and perceive the world and where I find value and beauty.
