Hi, Iʼm Nick Kuek
About Me
An EMT turned Software Engineer
With the pandemic ravaging the country and burnout on my mind, I decided to make the tough decision to put my career in medicine on hold and dive head first into the world of programming. After attending App Academy, I can safely say this was the best decision I've made.
By channeling the work ethic and interpersonal skills I gained as an EMT, I developed a passion for making the web a little more beautiful, which you will see in the projects I've listed below. Outside of software engineering and medicine, I enjoy hiking, guitar, and building custom mechanical keyboards.
