About Me

Hello, I’m Chi (pronounced /chEE/). I’m a Software Engineer with two years of experience in Web Development and another two in HCI/UI & UX Design. While I work across the full stack, my expertise in HCI and UI/UX drives my focus on front-end development, where I bridge functionality with design to deliver intuitive user experiences. I’m detail-oriented, quick to adapt to new technologies, and passionate about building scalable, accessible solutions. Outside of work, I enjoy reading and playing video games.
