Ekongi "E.K." Yancy

About

I'm a fullstack software developer, with a focus on React, GraphQL and Typescript.

In 2006 at a summer camp I fell in love with programming. I went on to make my passion my career, studying computer science in high school and University of Texas at Austin.

Nowadays, I continue to follow my passion for building both front-ends and back-ends. In particular, I love tackling complex problems and simplifying them into their base components, and building those components in a way that is scalable and maintainable. Nothing brings me more satisfaction than coming back to a project months, or years later, and finding it is still easy to understand and iterate on.

My other coding passion is mentorship. Whether it's members of my own team, or a client I'm working with, I strive to teach software engineering principles.

When I'm not coding, you can often find me on a Seattle Quake Rugby or traveling around the world.
