English: Fluent
Spanish: BeginnerMore details about my language interests
Absolutely! English is my primary language, and while I have some very basic comprehension of Mandarin, I'm far from fluent. In fact, one of the reasons I'm drawn to Workaway is to immerse myself in different cultures and learn new languagesSkills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn

In the corporate realm, my primary expertise lies in Software Engineering and Cloud Computing. If you'd like a deeper dive into my professional background, my LinkedIn profile is available at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/henry-ly-code/. Beyond the professional sphere, I have a passion for teaching. I've previously made coding tutorials for YouTube and even produced content for FreeCodeCamp, which you can view here: https://youtu.be/ldYcgPKEZC8?si=GDCt0UlJouIUUQIo. I always strive to share knowledge on a variety of topics, whether it be coding, chess, jump roping, and more.
While I'm well-versed in the digital domain, I'm also ready and willing to roll up my sleeves for more hands-on tasks. I might not be as athletic as Michael Phelps, but I pride myself on being resourceful and a quick learner. Before my dive into the tech world, I worked alongside my dad, providing house repair services from my middle school years through high school. This involved a diverse range of tasks including tree-cutting, AC installations, painting, laying wooden floors, and many more. So, if there's physical work to be done, I'm up for the challenge. I'm especially intrigued by farming – it's a skill I've yet to acquire, but I'm eager to learn and immerse myself in.Age

What else ...
I have a medley of hobbies that I'm passionate about:
Chess: While I might not be a grandmaster, I can give a decent fight. You can check out my profile here: https://www.chess.com/member/l0609890.
Jump Rope: At one point used to be soo into jumproping that I became a member of the 100 Club, a challenging jump rope group. More about it here: https://jumpnrope.com/blogs/100-club/100-club.
Music: My musical journey began with the cello during my school years. More recently, I've been dabbling with the piano. While I'm no professional, I've had the advantage of growing up with siblings who played the piano, so I've picked up a bit!
Public Speaking: My background includes involvement with Toastmasters, speech and debate teams, and various public speaking events at work.
Juggling: This is a newer hobby of mine, and I'm excited to say I can now juggle three balls!Some more information
