Soren's Web Development Portfolio
A fullstack web developer based out of Osaka
About Me:
Currently based in Osaka, originally from San Diego, California. I'm interested in web development using Ruby on Rails, messing around in Javascript, and doing some side projects in Python. Currently learning more advanced Ruby on Rails and React. I also love snowboarding and eating ramen. I have been to more than 200 different ramen shops throughout Japan! Below are some of the projects I am proud of. I am currently developing an English ramen application to help foreigners find the best bowls in Japan! I would love to collaborate with people on Ruby on Rails or Python applcations. Feel free to connect with me on Github or Linkedin at the links below.
