I'm Brian, a Full Stack developer with a deep, ever-growing interest in cloud technology, languages (both computer and human!), and impactful ideas that empower societies and the individuals therein. I have a B.A. in International Management and, prior to programming, worked in transnational companies in both business development and administrative capacities. I also speak Mandarin Chinese(真的!)!
In 2018, I took a definitive step towards becoming a software developer by joining Lambda School, an innovative, immersive program with a project-based curriculum in software engineering and computer science. After successfully completing the program(!), I applied to become a part-time Project Manager (a student mentor/TA role) to work with a small group of students as they study algorithms and computer architecture with the aid of Python and C! It's been an amazing journey.
I'm always interested in learning more about innovative projects and companies. Feel free to reach out by email at bkwillia052@gmail.com if you'd like to chat!

vBeloved is a wedding planning site that I worked on with a team of 4 during a 5 week sprint. I was the main Backend Architect and used Express and SQLite w/ Knex among other popular libraries to complete our desired functionality. We hosted our DB on Amazon's RDS service(this was my first of many dives into AWS!). I also worked on front-end Authentication, Billing, Settings, and Invitation UI components.
