Armando Vasquez
I'm an avid fan of video games, code and Canada Dry. I got my start as a QA test intern in my post-college days and eventually made my way into full stack web development. These days, I work at Cypress as a full stack engineer on the Dashboard team. In my free time, I enjoy random code projects, 3D modeling and wrangling our wild gang of doggos.
