About Me

Hello there, I'm so happy you are here! :) I’m Laurissa, a Software Engineer based in New York, NY. I was born and raised in Hong Kong. Then, I moved to Seattle and studied Computer Science at University of Washington. Since graduating, I have designed and developed scalable database-centric applications and backend systems using Java, Ruby on Rails, Python, JavaScript, SQL and more. Outside of developing, I’m enjoy editing my travel videos, discovering the hidden gems in New York, and learning 3D modeling for making artisan keycaps. I love connecting with like-minded people who are also passionate in tech, food, and cats! Hope you enjoy checking out my site:)
