Frontend developer: React.js / Node.js / Express / MongoDB / Postgres / GraphQL/ Redux/. 
I specialize in JavaScript technologies and have a strong proficiency in React.js.

I am a self-motivated developer who love problem-solving and embraces challenges. However, what truly drives me is connecting with people, sharing knowledge, and working collaboratively as a team to achieve our goals.

With prior experience in the kitchenware business where I collaborated with professionals across the globe, from factory boss and QC teams in China to managing operations in Hong Kong, customer engineering and marketing teams in the United States. 

I enjoy engaging in conversations with people from all over the world, learning about their cultures, and trying global cuisines. Furthermore, my love for technology pushes me to integrate it into my life, constantly striving to enhance my overall quality of life.

2023: At Health Boss, I served as a front end developer for a progressive web app focused on health tracking. Collaborating with a team of four, I followed Agile methodologies to develop the application using Next.js and Tailwind CSS. I integrated Prisma with MongoDB, implemented Next-Auth for authentication, and conducted Cypress End-to-End (E2E) testing. The application was deployed using Vercel, and tasks were managed through Trello. I also applied CI/CD principles and handled Git workflow management.

2023: At Servi-Home, I served as a front end developer. I collaborated with a team of three to refactor and optimise the desktop website for mobile compatibility. The codebase transitioned from JavaScript to TypeScript, resulting in a 30% improvement in maintainability. I implemented Cypress E2E testing, integrated token authentication, and enhanced login security by identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities.

2023: At Share A Smile, I independently developed and managed the entire lifecycle of a progressive web app. Following SDLC principles, I utilized React.js and Vanilla CSS to create a dynamic and responsive user interface. I crafted the core API and data model, ensuring efficient data management using MongoDB and Cloudinary for data storage. Project management was carried out using Agile methodologies with Jira for time management and task tracking.

2023: Completed an intensive 12-week Codeworks bootcamp where I strengthened my skills in:

• Advanced JavaScript, unit testing, and programming fundamentals.
• Back-end frameworks (Node, Express, Koa, GraphQL), databases (SQL, MongoDB, Redis).
• Front-end frameworks (Angular, React) and end-to-end testing.
• Explored security, authentication, and automation.
• Engaged in group projects, continuous deployment, and DevOps practices.
