About
I'm Chao
I believe computers are created to create.
Hey, I’m Chao (pronunciation ‘ciao’), a front end developer whose work is fuelled by creativity, curiosity and dedication. I got into this industry because I was in awe of all the things technologies can bring. I wanted to learn the power to create, optimize and develop. I would like to stand out the crowd as a forever learning and innovator: the best thing is yet to come.
