01 / A little introduction
I’m Jack, a front-end engineer in San Francisco. I build recruiting tools, online stores, and websites that help people find what they came for.
Currently at Brix. Previously at Didi, Baidu, and Xiachufang. I work mostly with React, Next.js, and TypeScript—and care just as much about the words on a button as the code behind it.
02 / Selected work
Recruiting, collecting, and finding community.
Different problems. A closer look at each.
01 / AI-assisted recruiting platform
From a job description to a candidate shortlist. A search workspace with AI-assisted filters, suggestions, and saved searches.
My part. Built the React and TypeScript interface, search filters, custom hooks, and API integrations.

02 / Collectibles e-commerce
An online shop for collectible releases and rare finds, with product browsing, customer accounts, and Stripe checkout.
My part. Designed and built the storefront, from the Next.js interface to payments, product data, and deployment.

03 / Multilingual community platform
Church information, events, and community stories in English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
My part. Organized the content and built the responsive Next.js site, language navigation, and search metadata.

04 / How I work
I started building web products in 2017. Since then, I’ve worked on the tools behind food delivery, education, recruiting, and online shopping.
I like working through the whole flow: what someone sees first, what happens when a request fails, and how they get back to what they were doing. Loading states, useful error messages, and a layout that works on a phone all belong in that conversation.
Behind the interface, I build shared components and keep the code easy for the next engineer to pick up. At Didi, I mentored five junior engineers. Explaining a decision is part of making it.
Tools I work with
React · Next.js · TypeScript · Tailwind CSS · GraphQL · Node.js · PostgreSQL · Docker · AWS
