Jacob Chen
Fullstack Engineer
I build financial and office automation SaaS products, provide accessible friendly user experience for the web application deploying on the cloud platform.
About
Back in 2015, I was just a low-voltage electrical engineer working with PLC programs. It was at the urging of my friend that I first tumbled head into the rabbit hole of coding and web development. Fast forward to today, I've had the privilege of building software for a start-up , an international financial institution, and a huge banking corporation.
My main focus these days is building SaaS enterprise products. In my free time I explore different technology stack.
When I'm not at the computer, I'm usually taking leisurely strolls with my partner, indulging in diverse cuisines, or tackling endless traffic jams in cities.
