Fred Chon

Hi, I'm Fred👋🏻

I'm a self-taught full-stack web developer at Imperial Health Plan , where I work with Angular, TypeScript, PHP, and PostgreSQL to build scalable, user-focused applications. I'm passionate about crafting clean, functional solutions that balance thoughtful design with performance—and I'm always curious to keep learning and growing.

I love building, breaking, and exploring new technologies through challenging projects. Motivated by self-guided research and dynamic problem-solving, I'm driven by a passion for continuous improvement. Beyond coding, I find inspiration in discovering new music, enjoying great food, traveling, playing golf, and spending quality time with loved ones and family.

This blog is my space to share projects, web development insights, and occasional musings. It reflects my journey as a developer and invites you to explore and connect.
