About me
I am a Taiwanese American software developer driven by two main forces: curiosity and root-cause analysis.
I graduated with a degree in Neuroscience and Psychology from Drake University and have worked in science and healthcare fields prior to becoming a software developer. In those previous roles, I learned about the power of data-driven decisions, user/client/patient empathy, and the need for software to improve these fields.
My current goals are to utilize my prior experience in science, medicine and healthcare to work on software that has a direct and positive impact on people's lives.
I can be reached on LinkedIn or via email at derek.yeh91@gmail.com.

Every parent understands the perpetual struggle of buying clothing that their children quickly grow out of, then having to figure out what to do with that old clothing that no longer fits. This application aims to provide users with a platform to buy, replace and exchange their children's outgrown clothing. The app provides a convenient and cost-efffect solution for parents looking to buy and sell gently used children's clothing.

Tools Used
Gotta Catch 'Em All is our "Stretch Tech" project for Mod 3 in Turing. For this project, we taught ourselves to use TypeScript, a syntactical superset of Javascript, which enables static typing within our project.
The app allows a user to search a large database of Pokemon, and to then view detailed information about the Pokemon of their choice. At the home screen, a user can see a preview of five different Pokemon to provide some ideas to start with for their search. Any of these Pokemon on the home page can also be clicked to take the user to a detailed information page and back.
