    David Yim

    As a seasoned front-end developer with a genuine passion for crafting immersive and user-friendly web experiences, I bring over five years of invaluable professional experience to the table. My journey into the tech world started in a different realm - the manufacturing industry, where I was immersed in the intricate workings of SAP ERP and the programming language ABAP. It was my fascination with software engineering that led me to transition into this dynamic field. In addition to my role as a full-time software engineer and instructor, I also dabble in the fascinating realm of training AI models. Outside the world of code, I treasure quality time spent with my family, finding the perfect balance between my professional and personal pursuits. My diverse background and unwavering enthusiasm for technology drive my commitment to delivering exceptional web solutions and continuously exploring the ever-evolving landscape of front-end development.
