SKILLS


FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT

I write web apps in ReactJS and VueJS. I have also worked with HTML5 Boilerplate and Bootstrap to build static websites. Gone are the days when web layout was done using tables 😄

BACK-END DEVELOPEMENT

My current back-end development stack involves NodeJS (KoaJS & Express), and alternatively Flask or Django. I have nearly written all the back-ends of all the apps I have worked with in the past.

APP DEVELOPEMENT

I currently write cross-platform mobile apps in JavaScript using React Native. However, I also worked with PhoneGap and Ionic back when Ionic was still in v1. I plan to pick up Flutter this year.

DEVOPS

I have created a good number of web/mobile apps. Other than just coding, I often also had to consider other things needed in a successful app like continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD).
