What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

I am a dedicated fullstack developer with over a decade of experience in creating innovative web applications. My journey began in 2013 as a freelancer, where I developed a CRM system for Cooby Inc. using React and Material-UI. I have also maintained complex systems for traffic observation in northern Taiwan, showcasing my ability to handle diverse technical challenges.

In my recent role at Houzz, I significantly improved user engagement through strategic redesigns, achieving a 240% increase in photo view rates and enhancing the overall site’s Add-To-Cart rate by 6%. My technical expertise spans across various frameworks and languages, including React, Laravel, and Vue, allowing me to contribute effectively to both frontend and backend development.
