@chancechime

Hi, my name is Chance, and I'm a product engineer pursuing a degree in Software Engineering who loves building products end to end. I enjoy thinking through both the user experience and the technical side, then turning that into features that are clear, useful, and well executed. I care a lot about thoughtful design, building great products, and creating satisfying user experiences that solve real problems.

Looking for Early Career Roles in Product Engineering, Software Engineering, Full Stack Engineering, Associate Product Management, and Solutions Engineering.
