01. About Me

Hello, I'm Jia Ming, a software engineer and web developer based in New York, NY.

I find enjoyment in building websites and software to solve particular problems and sharing on the internet for others to use. With every new project, I aim to learn and incorporate new technologies into them. My goal is to build easy-to-use softwares with a minimalistic approach to the UI.

Currently attending the City College of New York, and will be graduating shortly in Fall, 2021.

Some technologies that I've worked with:

Crytocurrency Slot Machine

Senior design project where I worked on the front-end such as the UI and the implementation of MetaMask.

Inside the app, we also provide statistics to users regarding their transactions that day.

Here are some other noteworthy projects.
