Front-end developer with a flair for web design and a knack for data processing. Skilled in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and always excited to bring creative ideas to life on the web!
When I’m not coding, you’ll find me swimming, experimenting with crochet, or attempting (often clumsily 😂) to conquer hiking trails.

About me

I graduated in mid-2024 with a Master of Information Technology from the University of Western Australia (UWA). My journey into tech wasn’t a traditional one – I began my career as a Senior Editor in the entertainment sector for one of China’s top four news portals. My role there involved managing over 20 interns and leading a team of four editors, while also experimenting with HTML coding. This early exposure to coding sparked my interest in technology and eventually led me to pursue a Master’s in IT.

Since transitioning into front-end development, I’ve focused on honing my skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks such as Vue and React. Recently, I’ve expanded my skill set to include C#, with the goal of becoming a full-stack developer in the future. Throughout my learning journey, I’ve also gained proficiency in UI/UX tools like Figma, which allows me to design user-friendly and visually appealing interfaces.
