One of my profound memories of my childhood, is my favorite figure model fell off the table, broke into pieces and I got it back into its original shape by reading the instruction, observing other figures, and trying different permutations and combinations. I enjoy the challenge of analyzing the situation, identifying the risk/tradeoff, and finding the solution. As a problem solver, I fall in love with computer programming right away the first time I watched a web development tutorial. And the spark would always be ignited when I got a new project to work on and when issues need to be fixed in my career life.

My specialty includes fast learning, project planning, problem solving, and communication with cross-functional teams. I have a deep understanding and hands-on experience with HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, Typescript, React, Angular, GraphQL, Node, SQL, Docker, and Jenkins. And I've started to learn many more modern technologies.
