Hi, I'm CK, a Software Developer and a Computer Science student at Wilfrid Laurier University (Expected 2027). I am on a mission to create innovative, cost-effective web applications that genuinely make people's lives easier.
Since self-teaching frontend development in 2022, I have continuously honed my problem-solving skills to build production-ready, full-system architectures. I stay true to my core values of curiosity, caring, and a commitment to improvement. Whether I am translating complex client specifications into robust backend systems or executing large-scale UI framework migrations, I thrive on building adaptable, user-centric software.
- Languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, SQL
- Frontend: Vue.js, React, TailwindCSS, Inertia.js
- Backend: Laravel, Node.js, MySQL
- Testing & DevOps: Test-Driven Development (TDD), PHPUnit, PEST, Vitest, Playwright, CI/CD
- Full-Stack Consultancy: Worked as a Software Developer Co-op at Vehikl, engineering adaptable data crawling pipelines for AI platforms and executing a major frontend migration (Buefy to PrimeVue) for a learning management system ahead of schedule.
- Community Platform Engineering: Built the client-facing site for HawkHacks, a student-run hackathon organization, successfully attracting and registering over 1,000 participants.
- End-to-End UI Leadership: Directed the planning, design, and execution of a dynamic machine user interface alongside a backend engineer for Nfinite Nanotech, a sustainable packaging startup.
I would love to make friends who love to talk about tech in general, or collaborating on projects that are fun, innovative and interesting. Let's connect!
