About Me
Hi, I'm Annette Lam, a recent graduate of the Computer Systems Technology program at BCIT and a proud recipient of the Pacific Leaders Scholarship. With a background in political science and philosophy, I bring a unique perspective to software development, blending problem-solving skills with a passion for creating impactful digital solutions.
My journey into tech began while working as a technical support agent. I noticed that many of the software tools we relied on were outdated and inefficient. This inspired me to transition from the legal field to technology, driven by a desire to be on the end that creates innovative programs rather than just supporting them.
My core tech stack includes using React, Node.js, and .NET Core to build modern and scalable applications. My hands-on experience includes designing and deploying applications with AWS, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.
