Hi, I'm Michelle Pham
Software Developer
I'm a climber. An avid boardgame and videogame enthusiast.
And sometimes I code android and full-stack applications.
Based in the GTA, my main focus is in Android and full-stack development. I've worked at different sized firms ranging from product development at start-ups, to meeting client demands at ramp-ups, and finally mainting products at large corporations. I've been fortunate to be a front-end engineer of an android product for a Fortune 50 Company and participate in the development of an at home fitness product of a Future Fortune 50 Company.
Beyond coding, you can catch me climbing (and mostly falling) at my local bouldering gym (shoutout to Toprock Climbing). While coding is the core of my career, I find immense joy in learning math. From fractals to graph theory, understanding the elegance of the world around me in numbers and patterns fuels my passion for mathematics.
