My name is Mai Van Wagner, and I'm a fresh App Academy grad and a self-motivated person with excellent communication skills. I thrive on challenge and constantly set goals for myself, so I have something to strive toward.

I have been in the US for almost 16 months so far but I’m not comfortable with settling. I’m always looking for an opportunity to do better and achieve greatness. Because of this, I have choosen to become a software developer, and gained a lot of hands-on experiences with JavaScript, React, Redux, Node.js, PostgresQL, Materail-ui, Boostrap, HTML and CSS.
