Hello World!

I'm Wendy Gwo. Web developer.

About Me

I'm a Los Angeles-based web developer with 7 years of experience in electrical and systems engineering and engineering management. I recently graduated from General Assembly's Web Development Immersive (WDI) bootcamp and have an affinity for Ruby on Rails and Javascript.

I'm passionate about technical products and their ability to make all aspects of consumers' lives easier and more efficient and am looking for opportunities to work with like-minded startups and individuals.

In my free time, I love being active and being outdoors. The personal achievements I'm proudest of are successfully summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro and completing a full marathon, the LA Marathon. When it's too cold or too dark to be outdoors, you can find me playing in co-ed dodgeball leagues throughout the LA area!

I also love traveling internationally. My one new year's resolution each year is to visit another country and I've luckily been able to keep that up the last few years!
