Hi! I'm Shawn, a full stack developer from Canada! 🇨🇦 I love working at startups and building products that people love. I'm currently working at Plantiful
About Me
I'm a self-taught developer. In the fast paced world of software, I believe that being able to learn new skills quickly is a key to success. I haven't found a technology that I've been unable to pick up and use in a matter of days
I love visiting new places and learning about other cultures. After graduating from the University of Toronto, I spent a year teaching English in China and backpacking around Asia. I currently live in Montreal, where I am learning French
In my free time, you can find me rock climbing, hiking, or skiing. I'm also an amateur swing dancer and improv comedian. I'm always looking for new exciting experiences, so if you have any recommendations, please let me know!
