Full Stack Software Engineer

About me

I am available to start immediately as a Junior Fullstack Software Engineer in London. I’m a self-starter, with energy, enthusiasm and passion for problem solving and learning new things. I can bring a breadth of business experience and pragmatism from my previous roles in the sourcing and shipping industry.

You can reach me at ching@ching-wang.io, and I’d love to hear from you.

I have full rights to work in the UK and do not require visa sponsorship.

Software Engineering, Flatiron School London

I graduated from the Software Engineering course at Flatiron School London.

This is a comprehensive full-stack curriculum that 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.

I’m also a fast and enthusiastic learner who is keen to acquire more knowledge and take on new challenges. Since graduating, I have added a number of new technologies to my tool-belt, including TypeScript, Flask and system design and deployment on AWS.
