MY STORY
My road to be a web developer
Graduated student from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Worked as a researcher and lab manager for 1.5 year after obtained my M.S. degree in Environmental Engineering.
Stepped in front end field with Udacity Nanodegree, love it more after taking CS498RK - The Art of Web Programming in UIUC. The fast moving industry and power of combining JS, HTML5, and CSS3 make me fascinated. After more than half year of studying in part time, I decided to quit my job in July 2016 and study full time since then.
In my road to be a web developer, Computer Science courses offered by UIUC, best rating books, and personal projects benefit me most. College courses give me big views and trends about current industry, books taught me with knowledge in depth, practice with projects polish my skills and make real things.
After more than one year experience in this field, I’m ready for a job as a front end web developer.
