Yan Chen

I am a front-end web developer with experience working with web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6), APIs, Firebase, and React. Furthermore, I look to build responsive and accessible web applications, and I am always eager to challenge myself to learn and apply new technologies.

With a background in chemistry and working as a pharmaceutical quality control chemist, I am confident in my adaptability, troubleshooting, and communication skills which I carry into my journey as a web developer.

Professionally, I see myself as a positive individual who is self-motivated, responsible, and detail-oriented. Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn for a chat!
