Employment
Experience
- Huali eCommerce website (Development)
One of the largest eCommerce flower sites for which I was in charge of the design and development. The front-end is developed under a mobile-first strategy. The back-end is developed to be modular through an order processing priority system.
- Biggest Food Ordering site (Development)
The biggest online ordering platform in China. I rebuilt the front-end UI from scratch to focus on user behavior flows.
One amazing thing I designed and built is the website background, which will adapt to the local time of the user in real-time.
