Hi, my name is

Larry Nguyen

iOS developer

I am a self-taught developer based in the Bay Area. Originally a pharmacist, my career aspirations shifted to programming after my first "Hello World" program. As my skills improve and the programs I build become more complex, there is a greater sense of accomplishment from seeing my code turn into something real. Excited to continue growing and bring ideas to life.

background

I grew up in the Bay Area and went to school at UC Irvine, graduating with degrees in biology and chemistry. After receiving my Doctor of Pharmacy degree (PharmD) at the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy, I continued to live and work in the Twin Cities for a few years. It was during this time that I started learning to code in my free time. I dabbled with Python and HTML/CSS for a bit before shifting to Swift and iOS development.

During the pandemic, I returned to California and continued learning Swift and building small apps through online courses, articles, and YouTube videos. Programming has been a challenging, yet rewarding experience so far - serving as a creative outlet and challenging me to be a better problem-solver. I look forward to continuing this journey and hope to turn what started as a hobby into a promising career.

When I'm not coding, I like to root for the 49ers, take pictures, play videogames, and travel when there isn't a pandemic.
