About Me

Hello! My name is Alex Yeh and I am a Computer Science graduate from UC Santa Cruz with a passion for creating products that merge technical innovation with real-world impact. I enjoy building intuitive web applications and leading projects that bring ideas to life. I love working across both the technical and product sides of development, including designing user experiences, writing backend logic, and managing team collaboration. I’m a hands-on learner who thrives in collaborative environments and enjoys solving problems that challenge both logic and creativity.

Outside of coding, you’ll probably find me watching a 49ers or Warriors game, or experimenting with new matcha latte recipes. I’m always excited to connect with others who share a passion for technology, design, and building something meaningful.
