Software Developer

</About Me>

A highly motivated software developer who is looking for opportunities.


I am trained as a full stack software developer on the Northcoders Coding Bootcamp. I have gained a sense of satisfaction and achievement when solving difficult problems, especially when working in a team. Also, I am always curious how other people solve the same problem differently so that I can learn from them.


Previously, I worked as a Market Research Manager in Hong Kong. I designed and managed different regional and local Mystery Shopping and Customer Experience programme to help my clients achieving growth and improvement in their business.
