About Me
Software Engineer with a passion for building innovative solutions
Hello! I'm JC, a Senior Software Engineer at Amazon with over 8 years of experience building scalable web applications and distributed systems. I'm passionate about creating clean, efficient code and solving complex technical challenges.
Currently, I work on Amazon Music, where I lead the development of music discovery and recommendation features that help millions of users find their next favorite song. My work spans from machine learning algorithms to user-facing web applications.
When I'm not coding at work, I enjoy building side projects that explore new technologies and solve interesting problems. I believe in continuous learning and love sharing my knowledge through writing and open source contributions.
Outside of tech, I'm an avid hiker, coffee enthusiast, and enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest with my family. I also volunteer as a coding mentor for underrepresented groups in tech.
