About Me

zoomed-in photo of Christian Pettet

I am a full stack engineer with experience in Python, Javascript, React.js, Redux, and PostgreSQL. Originally from the foothills of Appalachia, I received a degree in bioengineering and moved to the Bay Area to work on patient-focused therapies in the biotech industry. Most of the software I encountered didn’t enable users to make well-informed decisions or enhance productivity. I believe software should be designed with the user experience in mind and changed careers to focus on creating bespoke applications.

I enjoy pair-programming with others on a team, or tackling issues on my own. I prefer direct face-to-face feedback from others. I'm committed to a lifetime of learning and self-reflection.

My home away from home is the gym where I enjoy powerlifting. I enjoy following my Cincinnati Bengals and all things NFL, exploring natural and urban jungles, listening to music, and starting new DIY projects (ask me about the bathroom renovation).
