Hi, I am Kelvin Liang from China, a Full Stack Engineer who loves to build beautiful and smooth websites to solve complex business problems.
I excel in working hard and smart to bring high quality and high satisfaction outcome for my clients.
After decades at a multi-national company where I inhabited multiple roles (I mostly work in southern part of China - cities of Guangzhou & Hong Kong), I realized that programming had the potential to greatly improve business performance in nearly every scenario.
In one of my recent projects, I designed a payroll software to help reduce manual workload and boost the performance of assembly line workers. The scripts that I wrote ran daily to collect info from end-users’ computers in order to help simplify IT staff procedures and improve user satisfaction. I envisioned that professionals with programming capabilities will play bigger roles in every business in the coming decade.
Few years ago, I also attended a MBA program in California State University East Bay, where I studied the financial models of tech startups and big-name companies in the United States for 4 years.
Finally, I decided to quit my job to dive deep into the world of coding. I attended Microverse, an online coding school, to master every aspect of skills that professional programmers need in their daily lives, from the technical skills (Ruby on Rails / React / JavaScript / HTML / CSS ) to the soft skills (Pair Programming / Remote Working / Team Collaboration / Mentoring).
Now, I can comfortably build solutions based on ideas, solve business puzzles, and give professional advice with my business acumen and coding knowledge. I love to help businesses grow with coding so that people can focus on creating beautiful things for society instead of simply working on repetitive tasks.
In my free time, I love to go for long runs, read history books, cook healthy food for my family, and travel to new places.
