Hi there, my name is

Ricky Thai

I create, tinker & code.

I am a software engineer based in San Jose, CA focused on building things for the web and bringing them to life on the internet.

# About me

Hello! My name is Ricky, a software engineer based in San Jose, CA. I graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science in the year 2020.

Shortly after I graduated, I discovered a passion for front-end development. I enjoy synthesizing visual aspects with logic to develop applications that produce enjoyable and functional experiences for people.

When I'm not coding, you can find me shooting hoops on the basketball court or making music in my room!

Some tools and technologies I've been working with are:

  • JavaScript (ES6+)
  • React
  • Node.js
  • HTML & CSS
  • Python
  • GraphQL
