Civil & Environmental Engineer-In-Training (EIT)
Seattle native
Hi! My name is Dion Leung, and I've been a Seattle area native my whole life. I grew up and lived in Kent for the first 18 years of my life, then moved to Seattle where I attended the University of Washington, earning a degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
I was drawn to programming when I was assigned to work on overhauling and automating AutoCAD procedures using AutoLISP. I quickly found out how fun coding was, and was excited with the possibilities. One thing led to another and before I knew it I found myself switching things up completely to pursue a career in web-development and here I am!
In my spare time I enjoy spending time outdoors (only if I take my allergy medicine!), playing sports like basketball, soccer, volleyball, and baseball, and making progress on my seemingly neverending list of shows to watch.
My unique skillset combines a civil and environmental engineering training with a passion for coding, bringing an innovative and analytic approach to the table. Dipping my feet into coding inspired me to pursue it further, and I enrolled in and completed a Web Development/Coding Bootcamp through the University of Washington.
Problem solving was a skill taught through my formal education - applying it to developing apps and feature-rich websites has been rather simple.
My strengths include meeting deadlines, effective communication, and teamwork. I also manage my time well, can work under pressure, and have extensive experience with data analysis (typically for surface water systems, but Microsoft Excel is versatile).
