About me
Hi, I’m Joy — an aspiring developer, snowboard enthusiast, and the founder of Cute Dumplings.
I am currently studying Informatics at the University of Washington, with a strong interest in technology, systems, and real-world problem solving.
Before returning to school, I served five years in the U.S. Navy as an Aircraft Mechanic, where I developed a disciplined mindset, technical precision, and the ability to work under high-pressure environments.
I enjoy exploring new ideas and learning through hands-on experience. Alongside my studies, I own and operate a small business, Cute Dumplings, where I manage employees, coordinate markets, and oversee daily operations. I also handle website development, branding, and digital presence for the business myself.
