Alex Chen
Fullstack Software Engineer

Hi, I'm Alex Chen

I build exceptional digital experiences with clean, efficient code. Specializing in fullstack development with a focus on React, Node.js, and cloud technologies.

About Me

I'm a passionate fullstack developer with over 5 years of experience building web applications and services. My journey in software development began during my computer science studies, where I discovered my love for creating elegant solutions to complex problems.

Currently, I work as a Senior Software Engineer at TechCorp, where I lead development on our core platform. I specialize in building scalable applications using React, Node.js, and AWS, with a strong focus on code quality and user experience.

When I'm not coding, you can find me contributing to open source projects, writing technical articles, or exploring new technologies. I'm particularly interested in serverless architectures, WebAssembly, and the future of web development.
