About Me

alexander yang in jiu-jitsu competition

Hi, I'm Alexander, a frontend engineer based in Toronto.

I specialize in creating web applications using TypeScript and React. I'm focusing on accessibility and improving web performance. I also try to get into habit of writing blogs consistently.

When I'm not coding, I like to practice jiu-jitsu, read latest manga and play video games.
