0.1 About Me

Hello! My name is Kaleb Lyda and I enjoy creating beautiful things. My interest in software engineering started in 2018 when I used a Java library called Processing to make sketches for art projects.
Now I’m using my background in art to think outside the box when crafting exciting experiences that live on the web and mobile.
Here’s a few technologies I’ve been using recently:

  • Javascript + Typescript
  • React + React Native
  • Node.js
  • Express
  • Detox + Jest
  • Cypress
  • Java
