About Me

I am Chan Kar Yik, a.k.a chicken wing, a.k.a gai yik. I am based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, working as a Senior Frontend Developer at Bitlab Digital and Freelance Frontend Developer. I am a passionate developer with robust problem-solving skills and proven experience in building responsive, interactive, user-friendly, and feature-rich websites.

I picked up front end web development skills from scratch through The Techy Hub’s internship program. From there, I was given several valuable opportunities to work for renowned clients even though I was just an intern. This internship program had sharpened my skills and boosted my confidence in building websites.

I face countless challenges every time I work on a website. However, I always feel excited to see the website mocks because I love to read the design from head to toe to visualise the process and outcome in my brain and figure out the best approaches to do the job. I really enjoy every second of doing this.

I have worked on a lot of web projects that came from clients of vast industries. Those web projects serve different purposes, but they have the same objectives: To solve their problems. I listen very carefully to client’s concerns and expectations, and I will provide the best solution for them.

Throughout my agency life, I had provided mentorship and supervision for junior developers and interns. I had also successfully trained and converted several interns into full-timers. I often shared my feedback, thoughts, and experience with them so that they can learn new things, cope with the company’s culture and handle the pressure of getting jobs done.

If you would like to work with me, please do not hesitate to contact me. Cheers! 😉
