Priscilla Chan

Now, I am actively seeking new opportunities because my current company is going into liquidation.

I am currently working as a Junior Front-End Developer, developing web-based software solutions spanning various sectors and industries and taking ownership of front-end aspects of projects. I transitioned into this role after completing comprehensive training as a Software Developer with Northcoders, focusing on full-stack development.

In recent projects, I've had the opportunity to work with React and TypeScript for web development, both commercially and personally.

In commercial web projects, I primarily focused on frontend development within the development team. The technologies included React, Redux for state management, Axios for managing HTTP requests, along with TypeScript, Tailwind, and Styled Components. Our goal was to create user-friendly applications designed for effortless lead generation.
