Hi Strangers!

My name is Tommy Chung. I'm a full-stack developer and a data scientist with a background in different industry, including loan, game, beauty etc. I'm passionate about build products having excellent user-experience and using data to solve real-world problems.

I've been working as a data scientist for 3 years now and moved to work as a full-stack developer in recent years.

I'm also a new comer to Toronto Canada!

Why moved to work as a developer

I'm always a developer, but that's just not my fulltime job. I tought myself web development, when I was graduated from secondary school and trying to earn some pocket money as a freelancer. In the process of that, I found my interest in coding and decided to dig deeper into it, even though my major is data science. That's the time when I learned Node.js, Typescript, React etc. After that, I am also working as a developer role in my startup projects and responsible to all tech related aspect of the project.

Fastforward to 2019, when I was working as a Junior Data Scienctist in DataTech.ai. At that time, one of our clients need to have an interactive dashboard. However, there are no existing dashboard solution fit their requirement. So, we decided to build one with React. It became my first project that make use of both prefessions of mine.

In 2022, I decided to work as a senior programmer in Madhead, where I worked completely as a full-stack developer and help the team to build a better product with better UX and DX.

Coming to Canada

I'm a Hong Konger, and I'll always be. Hong Kong is a small place and I love it. Unlike other places in Asia like Japan or Taiwan, people there can choose to live in different cities and experience different lifes. It's something I always wanted to do. I wanted to experience life outside of this small island. That's why I went to Lisbon Portugal for my internship and that's why I am coming to Canada!

I'm looking forward to meeting new people and making new friends!
