About Me

Allen Chen profile picture

Hi! I'm Allen, a software developer currently working at Paycom on the User Management and Security team.

I enjoy full stack web development in C# / .NET or PHP along with React and TypeScript. I graduated with a BS in Computer Science from The University of Texas in Austin.

In my free time, I'm an aspiring cyclist, espresso nerd, and a loyal sports fan of my hometown teams in Dallas. I'm also a dedicated(ish) runner who loves collecting way too many pairs of running shoes and geeking out on stats from my GPS watch.
