Jeremy La

Software Developer

I build pixel-perfect digital experiences, blending functionality and efficiency with user-centric design.

About

Back in 2020, I decided to try my hand at creating a custom Chrome extension and took my first steps on a long journey of coding and web development. Fast-forward to today, and I've had the privilege of contributing to a robust social media management platform, an end-to-end financial service, and numerous student-led projects, all while pursuing a degree at the University of Toronto.

My main focus these days is building unique and engaging projects while finishing up my final year of studies. I mostly enjoy building software that perfectly balances design and functionality — things that look good but also serve a real purpose.

When I'm not working, I'm usually playing badminton, hanging out with friends, watching food videos, or relaxing while listening to some of my favourite artists.
