Terri Chu

I’m a developer with a passion for testing – I adore problem solving. I spend my days working on back end development (Java/Spring Boot/Node) with a sprinkling of DevOps (GCP/Kubernetes/Docker). I spend time outside of my day job making Android apps. My motto: always keep learning!

My strengths include strong analytical skills, the ability to understand applications built on a variety of architectures, and solid communication skills from years of work as a consultant (remote and onsite).
