Software Engineer, Amazon

Hi I’m Dennis, a current software engineer at Amazon. I previously interned at Amazon in Summer 2021, before later converting to a full-time graduate software engineer when I graduated from UQ with an Honours degree in Software Engineering. Before interning at Amazon, I worked as an undergrad developer at WorkingMouse, a Brisbane based consultancy. The biggest draws of the tech industry for me were that I love to solve problems, and I always get to learn something new. A fun fact about me is my minesweeper Expert board clear time is 51 seconds 😊.
