Hou Chia
Experience
Greetings! My name is Hou and I'm a Princeton-educated software engineer. I'm currently working at an established healthcare startup (Zocdoc) based in New York City.
I possess deep expertise in developing consumer-facing websites in a professional production environment. I embrace using data to help make decisions. I love good, clean code. User experience and responsive/adaptive design are topics I care deeply about. My students typically find my love and passion for the front-end infectious.
I'm passionate about coding education and currently serve as a part-time web development instructor at Product School (www.productschool.com) and as a technical interview mentor for the Skilled platform (www.skilledinc.com), where I help coding bootcamp graduates succeed in their technical interviews. I recently also finished teaching a full-stack JavaScript development course at the New York Code and Design Academy.
I am well-versed in utilizing state-of-the-art JavaScript stack, including popular technologies such as React & Redux, AngularJS, Node/Express, Webpack 4, ES6, and TypeScript to build web-based applications and architect complex user interactions for desktop and mobile browsers. On the backend, I am proficient at creating client/server routes and server/API endpoints using Node.js/Express, and working with MySQL/PostgreSQL. Additionally, I'm familiar with Ruby on Rails.
My professional experience includes full-stack development for startups in the healthcare, beauty, and e-commerce industries in Silicon Valley/New York.
This mentor offers one-time voice consultations. Schedule a call.
