Alejandro Chang
Full Stack Software Engineer
Hey everyone, welcome! My name is Alejandro and I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer located in the San
Francisco Bay Area. I have over 5+ years of software development experience in both backend and frontend with an emphasis in Frontend scalibility, accessibility and
performance.
I have first-hand experience working in the startup scene as well as some of the biggest unicorns in the world. I was incredibly blessed to be the first FE
engineer for the US Department at TikTok which brough me incredible
experience - helping ramp up their department (helping hire over 50+ engineers of all levels), contributing to their business development growth which included
7 business different verticals and being present during one of their biggest booms of the companies history.
When I'm not coding, I love spending time at church where my community lies ⛪,
I love exploring and traveling the world ✈️, trying new cuisines and foods, visiting the beach 🏖️, playing all kinds of sports and reading. Anything
that requires me to think or be active, I'm typically all in!
