About Me

Full-Stack Developer!

OKI! I'm Joseph Spring Chief, you can call me Zack. Recently, I completed the Full-Stack Development program at InceptionU, where my passion for coding and problem-solving flourished. I firmly believe that many contemporary challenges can find solutions through innovative technology and software applications, a conviction I'm eager to demonstrate. Beyond the realm of coding, I find joy in activities like playing volleyball, diving into video games (Monster Hunter and FF14 are personal favorites), assembling PCs, and maintaining an active lifestyle through regular exercise. I am enthusiastic about contributing my technical skills and easygoing demeanor to exciting and impactful projects. Looking forward to the opportunity to connect and collaborate!
