About

Hello! I'm Susie Son, an Android engineer. I'm currently based in Toronto, Canada 🍁

Some quick facts...

• I graduated from the University of Waterloo in 2022 with a Bachelor of Mathematics.
• I have 2 years of Android internship experience from 6 different companies.
• I was a software engineer at Stytch, where I led projects within their React Native SDK.

What drives me?

I thrive on the thrill of solving complex problems and overcoming challenges. During my undergraduate days at Waterloo, I loved diving into mathematical proofs. I felt motivated by digging deeper and getting lost in problems. In my work today, I find myself enjoying learning, teaching, and helping others succeed.

My core values are kindness, peace, and confidence, and I work every day to embody these principles. I believe that the key to a fulfilling life is wellness and self-improvement. I focus on my mental health and strive to be healthy and happy.

What I'm working on:

When I was in therapy for my social anxiety, I learned the technique of exposure sessions. By creating, logging, and practicing these exposure exercises, I built confidence over time. I had the idea of digitalizing this process through a mobile app called Anchor ⚓. I would be able to see all my past exposures and get insight on my progress. This project is close to my heart, and I hope others will find it helpful 💗

My life outside of code

When I'm not coding, you can usually find me doing one of these things:

• Playing a variety of video games:
• Valorant for its competitive edge 😤
• Stardew Valley for its calming routine 😊
• Slime Rancher because... slimes are just too cute!
• Watching YouTube: Recently I've been into true crime documentaries...
• Getting a PR on my bench press at the gym 💪

Since you've read this far, here's a fun fact: I have perfect pitch! I've been playing the piano and the violin since I was 5. Music has always been a significant part of my life 🎵
