Ching Wang

Full Stack Software Engineer

Hello, my name is Qing (pronounced “Ching”). I’m currently working at Gravit8 Software as a junior full-stack software engineer, using React, JavaScript, SASS, node.js and the AWS platform among other technologies to deliver projects for clients including AstraZeneca, ITV, Shell and Dixons.

This site is mainly for my learning notes and sharing things I like.

A little bit more about me

I grew up in an environment where technology wasn’t very common. However, I’m curious about all new things and have always sought to learn about them. A long time ago, I learned how to use a computer in my own time to move from the factory floor to an office job. From there, I started to learn English in my own time and then decided to learn English to go to university.

After studying and working for five years in Shanghai, I moved to the UK. In my previous role at a British import/export company, I found many chances to automate small pieces of work with Python. I knew that I would like to pursue it further and learn how to write software, which I did at Flatiron School London. Flatiron is a software engineering boot-camp that teaches a range of full-stack web technologies over several months: Software Engineering course at Flatiron School London.

The comprehensive full-stack curriculum at Flatiron equipped me with knowledge of software engineering across the web technology stack (see below). I gained practical, applicable software engineering skills and have been putting them to use in a range of projects.
