Patrick Wang
Staff Frontend Engineer
Hi, I'm Patrick! Ever since my first steps into text-based MUDs and crafting web pages with FrontPage Express, I've been fascinated by the endless creative potential of the web. I've been building professional frontend applications since 2009, with over 15 years of hands-on software development and architecture experience.
My journey spans digital marketing agencies, tech media, community platforms (Dcard), fintech platforms (cnYES), anti-fraud intelligence (Gogolook Whoscall), and co-founding an entertainment review platform (Awwrated). Currently, I serve as a Staff Frontend Engineer in the centralized cryptocurrency exchange industry, focusing on React Native / Expo cross-platform architectures, high-reliability financial trading interfaces, and robust Web & App product delivery.
