about me

Hi there, I'm Mae Chen! Whenever I'm asked, "why do you like coding?" I always say because it is a super

power. Coding allows me to create whatever I want: from solving real world problems and helping others to

just expressing myself.


I am interested in becoming a Software Engineer or Full Stack Developer. I also love business, so I am

exploring Quant Trading and Product Management.


Outside of programming, I am still a creative individual. I've been dancing since I was 5 years old,

and Hip Hop is my favorite style. I also love to create media content. From videos to photos, I like

to think I have a pretty good eye. On top of that, I have a pretty good ear. I love to sing, and I

play the violin!


My personal mission is to have a positive impact on a large community by genuinely connecting

with others. I will take initiative and responsibility for my actions, anticipate challenges and

opportunities, and set clear goals. I will also prioritize understanding others before seeking

to be understood, fostering strong relationships and communication. Through these

values, I aim to shape the world around me for the better and to create a fulfilling life

with no regrets.
