Hi, I'm Fan! 👋

I'm not picky with tech, but I'm most familiar with React on the frontend and I do appreciate Ruby's idea to "optimize for programmer happiness" 💖.

Currently I am more interested in being an IC (individual contributor), but I'm also open to team lead roles and I might return to management in the future.
