Hi, my name is Howie. I’m a web designer/developer specializing in creating esthetic and unique digital experiences. As of now, I’ve had the privilege of working at an advertising agency and a nonprofit organization. My current focus is to progress into a software engineer.

In my spare time, I enjoy doing some freelancing work. My goal is to use technology to help clients articulate what’s in their mind to better express themselves.

My diverse background prepares me with both design and development skills: a keen eye for design; professional experience using a wide range of digital design tools; design thinking, proven problem solving, research and analytical skills.

Currently, I am working on Repeat App - a full-stack project aims to improve language skills and building his own React Guide while solidifying Data structure and Algorithm. Post videos about how I solve React problems live occasionally.

Sidenote: It is worth noting I completely redesign and rebuild my portfolio website using React. It is a major update from previous design version preparing for my aspiring dev career. View source code.

[LEGACY] Watch a video: I also made a self-introduction video. Legacy, still fun to watch.

I picked two projects as an indication of my full-stack develop skills. Also, apply newly learned knowledge to something I feel excited about always motivates me to keep going.

Snap App focus on creating a photo sharing platform for people who love architecture. It integrates sharing, navigation, architecture information and tour planning together. Watch a video for details.

A blog site focus on work-life balance. Its content is around three topics: design, psychology and community. Built with Next.js. Watch a video for details.

I started to use GitHub very early during my self-teaching. In the beginning, I mainly use GH as a platform to keep a track of what I've learned. Also, I can always go back to GH for reviewing knowledge. With the help of GH pages, I was able to publish some of the projects I followed along tutorials. Here are two examples - Natour & Forkify:
