Jimmy Van About
Howdy! I’m Jimmy, a software developer with expertise in web development. Currently, I am a Full-Stack Developer for Crbon Labs. For me, software development is about bringing ideas to life with clean, efficient, and intuitive designs that prioritize user experience. My expertise include JavaScript, CSS, and the MERN stack, with a recent fascination for Svelte, which inspired me to create this web application! Aside from coding, I enjoy playing volleyball, badminton, video games, and billiards.
