Hello there! I'm Marvin, a software engineer currently based in the Central Coast of California. I love building UIs and backend services with JavaScript. I typically use React/Redux for my front-end projects and use Node.js with Express for the backend. I've also built production apps with Python and PHP and have worked on mobile apps with React Native.
I attended App Academy and completed my B.S. in Computer Science at San Jose State University.

Infinite Vans
... but they look like sneakers!
Having some fun with plain JS and Unsplash's API. With the Fetch API, new sets of images are fetched and displayed to create a sense of infinite scrolling.
Thanks to Google Fonts, HeroPatterns, Unsplash, and the many contributors for making assets rich and accessible 🙏
