My name is Yael Romero and I graduated from Stony Brook University in May 2017 with a B.S. in Computer Science, with a Human-Computer Interaction specialization. I have a unique perspective to software engineering, as I have worked with both design and code. I'm interested in UX/UI Design, Front-End Development, and Full Stack Development.
