About me

My name is Jing Gu. I am a senior developer, specializing in Angular projects.

I live in Montreal, Canada.

I love food, traveling and component-based object-oriented programming.

What I do mostly:

• Work on front-end architecture and REST API communication with the Back-end (Python, Django)
• Create reusable component-based UI elements

What I have done or contributed:

• Developed an Angular UI library (lead)
• Developed an Angular web app that manages audits for auditors and inspectors (lead)
• Developed an Angular web app that promotes cognitive health to reduce the Alzheimer risk (team)
• Developed an Ionic hybrid mobile app that provides a variety of games for school and childcare workers (team)

My daily tech stack includes:

• Angular
• TypeScript
• RxJs
• TailwindCSS
• SASS
• Ionic
• Contentful CMS
• Astro
• Git and Github

Other experience:

• Node, MEAN stack
• React
• Gatsby
• Storybook

What I like:

I love using Figma for the app mockups, and draw.io for the diagrams.

I have a penchant for documenting things and depending on the purpose or scale, I’ll use Gitbook, Docusaurua, or just Notion.

I use Ubuntu and am comfortable with any Linux or Mac OS.

I like IT fictions, and I believe all software developers should read this one: The Phoenix Project by Gene Kim, George Spafford, and Kevin Behr.
