I. Self-introduction 

     My name is Chao-Ming Chang. I come from Taiwan. From my childhood, I have loved to solve puzzles because analyzing questions and solving them one by one could give me fulfillment. I am independent and take my responsibility very seriously. I tend to follow my planned schedule so that I can make sure to finish it step by step before the deadline. Moreover, I like to research new ways to get things done in a more efficient way. Therefore, I believe that 

my personality quite fits the requirements of the information technology industry.

II. Studying Process

      I graduated from National Cheng Kung University and I majored in Computer Science and Information Engineering. During the time I focused on enhancing my professional knowledge therefore my grades were always ranked in top 25%. When it comes to choosing my courses I preferred to choose those with implementing project. In this way, I could combine the project with my love for gaming. Not only I could train coding, but also designing with enthusiasm. In my free time, I also joined different clubs which broaden my experience and made me make many good friends.

    I started working on my senior year project, “Mobile Cloud Computing Service Server and System on Real Time Capturing and Sharing Street View Information”, in my junior year at college. I worked in a team of two to complete this project. I was responsible for front-end on Android. Even though we faced what seemed an unsolvable problem in the process, we still found a way to work around it and used an alternative solution to solve it. These experiences improved my logical thinking and problem solving skills. I believe these will help me to face the challenges in my future career.

     In my final year of study, I prepared for recommendation in postgraduate school and succeed in getting the recommendation from Cheng Kung and Chiao Tung university. However, due to an unforeseen situation I had no choice but give up my recommendation to look after my family. I hope that I can keep advancing my specialty in my future career. In the end, I decided to keep upskilling myself by self-studying to compensate the fact that I was not able to attend the postgraduate school.

III. Working  Experience

     My main job experience was working as a full-stack engineer in Softpower. Due to the lack of workforce in the company, I was honored to be assigned as the only programmer in the medical social project, "Health E Communication". Therefore, I needed to learn different technologies so that I can implement this website mostly by myself. After working on this project for a long time, the company offered me the opportunity to work in United States for about three months. This trip not only improved my conversation skills a lot, but also helped me to learn how to deal with pressure in unfamiliar environment. Although I had a great time working in this company, I knew I needed to leave my comfort zone and challenge myself to achieve my dreams, working abroad.

    Under the effect of COVID, I tried a different working style, working as a freelancer. Before I got contracts, I spent most of my time on learning new skills, react and related technologies. Although it took me some time to find some projects to enhance my experience, I had opportunities to become familiar with these technologies further. In this period of time, I cooperated with different clients and their industries were various too, such as rented storage management, cook serving system, etc. Therefore I needed to learn about different industries' knowhow and implement some technologies that they asked for. Sometimes my schedule was indeed very compact but I still could keep everything under my control and finish my tasks before the deadline. I am glad that I leave my comfort zone so that I can learn different knowledge and cooperate with different teams of my clients.

IV. Self-expectation

    In the short-term goal, I want to settle down in Melbourne before the expired of my visa. Hopefully I can experience not only different cultures but also enjoy one of Australia's famous features, natural attraction.  In the middle-term goal, I wish to keep learning the new technology and choose one or two domains of industries. I might be able to extend my visa and be more familiar with the knowhow of industries while keeping researching. In the long-term goal, I hope that I can have a plentiful experience on the domain. In this way, I may have the opportunity to lead projects to success or even benefit society eventually so that I can leave something I can take pride of myself in my life.
