Specialized - Turbo App PM Fullstack + iOS Developer Software Engineer (B.SE.)
More About MeRecently, I started working for Specialized Bicycle Components as Turbo App Project Manager. Working with my passions, which includes: Apps - Web - Sports, in this case lots of bikes and cycling. This was a few months after graduating from Sichuan University with a Bachelor in Software Engineering.
I grew up competing as a high level junior triathlete which gave me a drive to succeed. At 18, I left the UK to start a new adventure across the world, fully immersing myself into a completely different culture and learning a new beautiful language. Living in China, made me gain such an interest in computer programming which lead me to enrol as a Software engineering student at Sichuan University. Graduating from Le Wagon Chengdu coding bootcamp is just the beginning of coding career.
Below I have listed a few of my past and current work experiences as well as my education.

Why should you hire me? Well, due to the range in skills that I have acquired over the past 23 years, I believe that when given a task I will give 120% to ensure that I give you the very best. When it comes to working in a team or group projects, I know this is a work style in which I excel. I am constantly learning new valuable skills in my own time, simply out of a passion to learn how to code. I can perform the work! I can commit to the job!
During my time at Le Wagon bootcamp I fell in love with Front-end. Using apps like sketch to design and layout websites was so much fun. The enjoyment that I gained during the bootcamp, drove to continue and build my web designing skills like HTML and CSS, to build more cool websites.
Being a full stack it means being both a front-end and back-end developer.Using both Ruby and Javascript I have created a few programs. However, in this field I am continuously learning new languages and skills in order to be a better developer, to create both mobile and web applications.
As mentioned earlier designing the user interface and user experience for an application is such a fun part of being a programmer. Finding out how happy a customer is due to the ease of using the product makes the client happy which makes me happy because it means i’ve does a good job. In UX doing competitor and customer analysis, creating prototypes, testing and planning is fun. In UI as I mentioned earlier I love front-end! Using sketch to plan out what the product will look like and how it will all come together is all part of the joys of being a UI designer.
Being part of GGI I work in a team with over 130 other community managers around the world. So I know how to gain and use my surrounding network, which is a valuable skill to have because it means I able to communicate with people of different ages and from anywhere in the world. Also through GGI I have also gained the confidence to host, which includes making public speeches in front of varying number of people.
