Hi, welcome! I'm
JOY YANG + a developer., a student-athlete., and a dreamer of sorts.
A Little About Me :)
I’m Joy, a current freshman at Georgetown University double-majoring in Computer Science and Government. I've worked a fair amount with all things web development, hence my familiarity with JavaScript, be it React, Angular, Vue, Three.js, or other frameworks. Recently, I've entered a new DeFi/Web3 phase in my progression of interests. As a Government major as well, I'm fascinated by where decentralized finance meets legal boundaries, a messy blend of tech and law. I've toyed a bit with blockchain and solidity, and I'm working to expand my experience in the field.
That aside, I'm an NCAA D1 student-athlete on Georgetown's Sailing Team and love the outdoors. I'm obsessed with hedgehogs and sunsets. I’m always open to opportunities to learn and grow, so feel free to reach out!

A Timeline of My Programming Journey
An overview of it all can be found within... my resume. Boring, I know. Reading resumes is a bit like watching paint dry, or worse, watching code compile. Either way, my resume promises a colorful performance.
Musiclusive: App + Startup
When it comes to projects, my journey begins with Musiclusive, diversity/inclusion-focused musical composer discovery app that my friend and I coded in high school as part of Lincoln Center's Young Musicians Innovation Challenge. Build primarily in React Native and with Firebase for a back end, this app landed us $4k total in national funding from Lincoln Center and PLCT Trust.
Campaign Website
In my junior year, I ran to be my high school's Student Body President. And what better way to showcase my campaign than to code a 3D website using Three.js for my peers to drive around and read my qualifications? (Yes, I won the election.)
