Sharon Gomez

Hi there, welcome to my portfolio! My name is Sharon and I'm a software engineer based in New York.

About me

I love creating web applications that not only look great but also feel great to use. Whether I’m building something new or improving what’s already there, I always strive to learn new technologies and techniques to enhance my skills and stay up-to-date with industry trends.

Over the past 5+ years, I've developed scalable, accessible web apps using modern front-end technologies like React, TypeScript, and GraphQL. I'm passionate about clean code and building interfaces that feel smooth and user-friendly.

When I'm not coding, you'll probably catch me reading, playing video games, or knitting. Feel free to shoot me a message if you want to learn more - I'm always up for a chat!
