@ianwang
Computer science student and full‑stack developer focused on building scalable, user-centered web and mobile apps.
What I'm looking for
I am a computer science student with hands‑on experience building full‑stack web and cross‑platform mobile applications. I’ve contributed to production‑oriented projects—developing an educational Java game for offline use, creating a Next.js/React + Firebase social recipe platform, and delivering a React Native food‑pickup app—while applying Agile practices, CI/CD, and secure authentication flows.
I collaborate closely with teammates and mentors, rapidly learn large codebases, and take ownership of core functionality from prototype to deployment. My work emphasizes usability, reliability, and measurable impact: expanding content offerings, improving user engagement, and reducing food waste through practical software solutions.
