Hello I'm Laura Tan, a software developer based in Vancouver, BC.

I come from a background in plant biology 🌿 it is still an interest of mine but my passion for solving logic problems/puzzles led me to a career in software development! Motivated by my own improvement and enjoy learning new technologies.
