About Me
Brandon Bing Ng
Hello there, my name is Brandon, I am a Software Engineer, who resides in New York Metropolitan Area. My interest in programming started in 2013, modifying HTML and CSS, BB codes, and eventually picking up programming in JavaScript during my Computer Science undergraduate and graduate years.
I have learned and used ReactJS, NodeJS, and MongoDB since then as I graduated and obtained my Master of Science Degree in Software Engineering from Pace University in August 2020.
Fast Forward to today, 2 years of Web Development experience working with startups. I have developed an interest into learning about Python and backend fundamentals. However my current focus is still, Front-End, as that is my current area of expertise. Currently interested into looking for a new gig to expand my knowledge and grow as a software developer.
Here are a few technologies I`ve been working with recently:
- ReactJS
- NextJS
- NodeJS
- TypeScript (ES6+)
- GraphQL
- AWS
- HTML & CSS
- Python
