Hi I'm Belle Lim 👩🏻💻
I'm a user-driven software developer and product strategist passionate about bringing elegant designs to life!
I have 2 years of industry experience developing impactful software where I worked closely alongside other teams to understand the big picture of the what and why of exciting new features. I am always ready to dive in and figure out the best solution from multiple angles to drive the best result!
When I'm not in front of my laptop, you can find me wandering around Boston or New York exploring the cities, sharing my food adventures, bouldering, building miniatures, or hanging out with my dog!
