Hello

I'm

Houman Ekrami

Software Engineer

I am a San Francisco-based software engineer with a passion for developing robust backend systems and designing elegant user experiences. With a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering and two Master's degrees, in Computer Science and Engineering and Web Design and New Media, I bring a diverse skill set to the table.

Currently, I work as a software engineer at MontaVista Software company in San Jose, where I work on developing cutting-edge test automation solutions and tackling complex technical challenges. In addition to my technical skills, I also have experience in UX design and research, allowing me to craft solutions that are both technically sound and user-friendly.

When I'm not busy coding, you would find me exploring the vibrant restaurant scene of San Francisco Bay Area and taking leisurely walks through the city's bustling downtown. On my personal website, you can learn more about my professional experience, education, and projects, as well as my personal interests and hobbies.

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, comments or opportunities - I would be delighted to hear from you!
