Hey there! My name is Paul, and I appreciate you for taking the time to check out my portfolio! I'm originally from Los Angeles, California, and I’m a full-stack software engineer specializing in front-end development, particularly building applications with React.js and Next.js. What I love most about software engineering is the challenge of solving complex problems and watching the software I build come to life!

Currently, I’m working on two main projects: KnowNative (see below) and a website for a Tahitian dance troupe, which is still in progress. Prior to software engineering, I worked in healthcare as a physical therapist, particularly in outpatient orthopedics and home health physical therapy. I am also a proud graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Outside of coding, my hobbies include Tahitian dance, learning languages (especially French), yoga, hip hop dance, trying new food, hiking, and taking on new escape rooms.

I'm always eager to collaborate on exciting projects and explore new challenges in software development! Let's connect!
