About
Hi, I'm Marvin! I'm a software engineer based in New York City with a passion for technology and development. During my internship at TodayTix Group, I contributed to launching a rewards system that impacted over 500,000 users, focusing on backend development using Groovy and SQL.
I'm a quick learner who enjoys taking on new challenges. Currently, I am job searching for Frontend, backend, fullstack or adjacent roles. I am also working on a hardware/software project that will track co2 levels in my room.
Beyond tech, I have interests in football, video games, anime, manga, traveling, and movies.
I'm actively seeking software engineering and adjacent roles, including Fullstack, Frontend, Backend, QA.
