Hi I'm Andrew Vuong! Welcome to my page. I am a driven software engineer passionate about building intuitive, scalable user interfaces.
With experience across the full stack spectrum and a background in cognitive science, I love exploring how people interact with technology and turning complex ideas into simple, satisfying experiences.
Outside of coding, you’ll usually find me discovering new music, staying active outdoors, or diving into the latest tools and frameworks to keep sharpening my craft.
As an engineer I thrive on building intuitive, high-performance front-end applications and specialize in React and TypeScript. Clean, maintainable code and thoughtful design are always at the top of my mind.
My background in computer science from UC Berkeley gives me a solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles. I enjoy applying these fundamentals to solve tricky technical problems that come up in the day to day.
At Amazon, I worked closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to ship features across S3 platforms. I’m passionate about understanding user needs and translating them into simple, satisfying interfaces.
Here are a few technologies that I have been working with recently.
I was a part of the HRSF 130 cohort. The HackReactor immersive program is an advanced coding bootcamp focused on building autonomous software engineering skills. Throughout this 12-week program here are the skills and technologies that I have acquired and learned through hands-on work:
I have completed my undergraduate studies in Cognitive and Computer Science. I have taken a variety of courses during my time at UC Berkeley and have built a strong foundation of computer science knowledge. Here are some relevant courses that I have taken:
I was a part of the fourth cohort of the Wallbreakers software engineering program. Wallbreakers is a six week training program in which candidates gain fundamental skills and experience in software engineering through 100 hours of intensive training.
An ERN stack application with a Spotify meets Tinder twist for compiling Spotify music playlists.
Implemented and scaled the backend of a business reviews microservice to support large request loads with low latency and error.
A Front-End emulation for a home rental app that I worked on within a team. I was in charge of designing the more places image sliding component and its basic functionalities.
My second iteration of the American Shipping Line website. Redesigned as a multi-page website and deployed online as the new company website.
My first web development project! Redesigned ASL's company website. Intention to make the site more user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and improve marketing to customers.
My first portfolio website built in 2019 with the help of Colorlib! I learned quite a bit about HTML, CSS, and web design. The first iteration with more to come! Hosted on Github Pages.
A semester-long project for my AI class at Berkeley. Aimed to solve challenging problem environments with creative solutions. Learned foundational AI concepts such as informed state-space search, probabilistic inference, and reinforcement learning.
