Hi, I’m Wai Yan, a software engineer with a flair for front-end development, particularly in React and Ruby on Rails. What sets me apart is my ability to approach problem-solving as a true generalist – blending various tools and methods to deliver efficient, innovative solutions. Whether building dynamic interfaces or leveraging AWS to streamline backend communication, I take pride in using a wide array of technologies to tackle challenges head-on.
My journey in software engineering isn’t just about coding; it’s about understanding the bigger picture and bringing creative solutions to life. I thrive in the technical and creative space, from delivering real-time backend updates to the frontend using WebSockets with minimal setup, to optimizing user experiences across platforms.
But there's more to me than just code. Outside of software development, I have a wide range of hobbies and interests, which influence my problem-solving approach. I believe that great engineering isn't just about mastering a single technology – it's about staying curious, learning continuously, and applying diverse knowledge to create robust, scalable solutions.
