ABOUT
Hi there! My name is Jackson Chen. Just your friendly neighborhood programmer based in Brooklyn, NY.
I enjoy solving problems. Whether it's a simple problem like fixing a lightbulb or solving a complex problem like my social life, I love the challenge.
Before coding, I was pursuing a career in medicine. After realizing how much of today's modern medicine and patient care relies on tech, I soon found myself immersed in learning how to code at The Flatiron School. After graduating, I continue to learn and utilize my skills to solve all sorts of problems through tech.
When I'm not coding, you can catch me playing basketball, video games, board games, reading or binge watching Netflix.
