Dominic Castaneda
Hi there! My name is Dominic and I'm a software engineer from Southern California. I'm experienced in all aspects of the software development lifecycle including: planning, designing, building testing, and deployment. Something that I love about software development is the opportunity to work on a team and connect with others. I’m eager to meet and learn from other software engineers, so feel free to connect on LinkedIn!
