Senior Frontend Developer at Hesta
Coding/ designing/ testing/ deploying
I'm a Sydney-based Frontend Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience building high-impact mobile and web applications. I have led end-to-end development for large-scale products such as Spriggy’s SPRK app and Hesta member portal, which grew to 75,000 users within its first year, and contributed to initiatives generating millions in additional revenue. With deep expertise in React Native, React, and TypeScript, I specialise in crafting intuitive, reliable, and scalable user experiences that drive engagement and business growth. Bilingual in English and Mandarin, I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments where product quality, customer value, and engineering excellence intersect.
I’m passionate about the intersection of online product experiences and real-world human behaviour. More specifically:
Using digital experiences to improve offline engagement — designing apps that encourage people to explore, attend events, and connect in person.
Mobile UX that drives real-world action, not just screen time.
Human-centred product discovery, especially in social, entertainment, and community-driven apps.
I’m building a next-generation event browsing and booking application designed to help people discover meaningful offline activities based on their location, interests, and real-world behaviour using the latest technology like Nextjs/ Vercel/ Nodejs.
