I am a skilled front-end web developer with experience in both startup and co-founder roles. At Codementor (codementor.io), I was responsible for designing, implementing, and testing the company's website using React.js, collaborating with designers and back-end developers, and employing agile development methodologies. At TsunamiWorks, I played a key role in the successful launch and development of a Yelp-like service in Taiwan called iFoodie (ifoodie.tw), where I developed and maintained the Android app and website, designed features
for the product, and recruited a designer and software engineer to join our small team. As a Senior Front-end Developer at Codementor, I am responsible for maintaining the front-end of two products, mentoring junior colleagues, and optimizing work processes. My skills include React.js, JavaScript, and Next.js, React Native, etc., as well as a proven ability to thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments.

As the sole web developer contracted with Chemist Confessions, I played a key role in creating a customized Shopify website using Shopify's Hydrogen framework. This framework is based on the React meta framework, Remix, and Shopify's GraphQL API. Notably, the front end of the website was extensively customized, bypassing Shopify's no-code site builder.
In this project, I:
- Collaborated closely with the company to understand their specific requirements for a customized Shopify website.
- Conducted a thorough assessment of Shopify's latest framework, Hydrogen, and presented a comprehensive proposal to meet the client's needs.
- Crafted the website from the ground up, ensuring seamless integration of design elements and meeting all specified requirements.
- Maintained the site and implemented additional functionalities, including integrating multiple tracking pixels for enhanced SEO and adapting Shopify apps not initially designed for the new Hydrogen framework on Shopify.
Through effective communication, strategic analysis, and hands-on implementation, I successfully delivered a unique and fully functional website that met Chemist Confessions' tailored needs.
