Welcome! I am

Liew Kai Shin

I am a software engineer interested in working on products that benefit others

About Me

When I was an undergraduate, I spent a significant portion of my time working in a lab 👩🏻‍🔬 I took part in research projects, research internships, and even a synthetic biology competition. In an attempt to better analyse my lab data, I picked up R programming. Then I moved on to Python and learnt more about data science so I could understand data better 👩🏻‍💻

Fast forward to now, I am a fulltime software engineer currently working with React and React Native. It is definitely an exciting field for me and I hope to develop products that many people will find useful and enjoy 😀

Outside of coding, I enjoy rock climbing and taking up new sports or embarking on new adventures 🧗🏻‍♀️ I also enjoy playing video games such as Tetris 🎮
