hi, i'm avery lin.

full-stack developer + computer science @ uwaterloo

about me

i began my software development journey in frontend web development — i loved seeing the immediate impact of my work on the user experience and how it improved their lives.

however, my interests shifted after working on api's, specifically for internal tools for fellow developers. after engaging with users + hearing how my efforts enhanced their efficiency, my eyes were opened to the impact of backend development to end users as well.

today, i've broadened my experiences, and have built react web applications, to golang rest api's, to python + llm-powered chatbots. i'm excited to continue building tools that make users' lives easier — whether that's helping them save time, space, or effort in their daily lives :)
