Albert Huang
Fullstack Software Engineer | M.C.S @ University of Virginia
Hey I'm Albert, a student currently at the University of Virginia and an aspiring full-stack software engineer!
I work across the stack, from backend systems to frontend interfaces, and I'm always looking for new things to learn and ways to make things cleaner, smarter, and more fun to use.
When I'm not coding, you will probably find me out playing volleyball or watching shows with friends.
Check out my projects and reach out if you'd like to connect!
