About Me


Hi, I'm Elias Luna. I'm a 2020 grad from the New York City College of Technology. There, I studied Computer Systems with a focus on Software Development. In my senior year, I also attended CUNY Tech Prep, which is a competitive full-stack JavaScript training program. Currently, I'm a Software Engineer Fellow at a chatbot startup called Forefront.

When I'm not coding, I'm most likely preoccupied with music production, fermenting foods, or meditation. Among other things, I love to travel, try different cuisines, and learn new skills.
