About Me
Brandon Bing Ng
I'm Brandon, a software engineer based in the New York metropolitan area specializing in front-end development.
I build web applications using React, Next.js, and TypeScript, with experience ranging from AI-powered platforms to e-commerce applications. My work focuses on creating performant, maintainable user interfaces and scalable component architectures.
Since completing my Master's in Software Engineering from Pace University, I've spent over 3 years working with startups where I've developed expertise in modern JavaScript frameworks, performance optimization, and front-end best practices. Currently, I'm expanding my technical knowledge by learning Python and backend fundamentals to gain a deeper understanding of full-stack development.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy board games, 3D printing, exploring coffee shops, and working on side projects.
Recent tech stack:
- ReactJS
- NextJS
- NodeJS
- TypeScript (ES6+)
- GraphQL
- AWS
- HTML & CSS
- Python
