Passion Fuels Purpose!
BIOGRAPHY
Hi, I'm Steven Sookhai! As a software engineer, I take delight in breathing life into code with a variety of languages and technologies such as Python, Java, Javascript, SQL, Typescript, Flask, React, Redux, MongoDB, PostgresSQL, and more. My journey in tech started at Iona College, where I earned my Computer Science degree. There, I gained in-depth knowledge about algorithms, object-oriented programming, and even ventured into game development. College was also where I first immersed myself in game development technologies like C#, Unity, and C++, instilling in me a lifelong passion for creating engaging digital experiences.
Off-duty, you'll either find me exploring new anime series, meeting interesting people, or taking starlit drives for some alone time. Life, I believe, is all about balance, and these moments away from the screen fuel my passion for creating user-friendly applications. Whether you're an anime enthusiast, a game development fan, or just someone who loves a good tech chat, I'm always excited to connect. So, feel free to reach out!
