Work Experience
Senior Software Engineer
Crimson Education
2019 - Present
I’ve focused on optimizing performance and scalability across our core websites. I improved the legacy codebase’s performance by 50% through strategies like lazy loading, code splitting, and analytics auditing. Additionally, I spearheaded the transition to Next.js for key pages, resulting in a 20% boost in lead submissions and significant reductions in LCP and FCP. Beyond performance, I standardized our design system with Tailwind CSS, enhanced API integrations for seamless data flow, and delivered impactful features like an AI-powered Essay Tool, GPA converters and lead automations
Web Developer
Wiredcraft
2019 - 2021
In my role as a Web Developer at Wiredcraft in Shanghai, China, I had the opportunity to work on various projects using core technologies like React JS, Express JS, and Postgres. I built omni-channel systems for retail and hospitality clients, mentored junior engineers, and developed pixel-perfect web UIs for client sites.
PHP Developer
Noshpos
2017 - 2019
I utilized PHP Symfony framework and Javascript to build customer-facing dashboards, POS system features, and RESTful APIs for 3rd party integrations with matching documentation. I also implemented designs for user interfaces for wechat stores and websites, aligning themes with our clients' branding.
Web Development Internship
