Hello! I'm Yoonje Lee, a passionate programmer with a deep love for technology, innovation, and creating meaningful user experiences 🚀. My journey in programming has been an exciting adventure, filled with continuous learning, growth, and opportunities to bring ideas to life 📚. I thrive on tackling challenges, exploring new technologies, and building impactful solutions.
I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a minor in Human-Computer Interaction at Virginia Tech in 2025 🎓, and I am currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Computer Science and Applications , focusing on Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence, with an expected graduation in 2026.
My technical foundation is built on languages like C/C++ and Java, which I've strengthened through both coursework and teaching assistant roles. Beyond that, I have hands-on experience with modern web technologies, including React.js, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript, as well as database systems like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB.
I recently worked as a Software Engineer Intern at Versy (Versy Talks), where I: Engineered a real-time notification and upvote system that increased user debate participation by 75% Revamped the blog UI/UX with Next.js + Tailwind CSS, boosting average post views by 58% Developed a secure, automated password reset flow with Prisma and PostgreSQL, reducing manual reset requests

Beyond internships, I've built impactful projects, such as: Diary Quest 📝 - A web platform helping students reflect on experiences with AI-driven insights and collaborative tools RewardBot 🎮 - A gamified student reward system integrated with the Canvas API to boost assignment completion Interactive Data Visualization Tool 📊 - A platform with real-time editing and brushing/linking techniques for deeper data exploration

When I’m not coding 👨‍💻, I enjoy exploring human-centered design, experimenting with new visualization techniques, and finding creative ways to merge HCI principles with robust engineering. My ultimate goal is to use my skills to create engaging, user-driven technologies that inspire and empower people.
