Shubo Chao
I am a Senior Front-End Engineer with 9 years of work experience. I have an MS degree in CS and a BS degree in EE, both in NTU, the best college in Taiwan. In my last job in Ingenta, a Tokyo-based AI startup, I built a CRM product from scratch as the first front-end engineer in the company. I also used to work with Omlet, a Silicon Valley startup that has 2 million monthly active users. I am interested in front-end performance optimization; for example, when I was in Omlet, I decreased the website's loading speed by 30%. I also had leading experience. I led a front-end team of three people when I was in Bridgewell, a Taiwanese digital advertising company. I am currently looking for a company where I can contribute my talent.
