About Sandy

Hello and welcome! My name is Sandy (JiaQi) Mak. When I was a kid, I was enchanted by magic shows. One of my favorite TV shows was Breaking the Magician's Code. Even though the premise of the show was to dispel the illusion, I never once cease to wonder…

In my professional life, I found that same sense of wonder as a superuser for my company's data management system. When I made suggestions to our UX designers about improvements on efficiencies and about how information can be made more easily accessible to users, my suggestions were granted…like magic. My eyes were opened to the power of programming.

I knew that I needed to learn how the magic works. I took a few fundamental coding courses online and fell in love with it. But there was so much that I wanted to learn so I decided to leave my job and pursue my quest to learn programming by enrolling in to Fullstack Academy of Code. The rest is history~~

Now for the fun part - here are a few fun facts about me:

I am a huge foodie; my favorite type of food is noodle in soup and fried chicken-- wings only, please. When I travel, I believe the best way to learn about a country's culture is by enjoying the food within. On hot summer days, I love biking along Caesar's Bay in Brooklyn. Recently, I have a newfound love for throwing a frisbee, scheming in the game of Avalon, and puzzling over a good brain teaser. Lastly, I love dogs and taking care of one has been the best life choice ever. His name is Leo.
