Link to my Linkedin PROFILE.
I'm James Wang, a Taiwanese-born designer and coder with a passion for clean and functional websites. I graduated in 2012 from Boston University and accomplished a Master Degree of E-Commerence. I was elected Taiwanese Student Association President in 2011. During my time at college and graduate school I discovered and embraced my creativeness, innovative ideas within the web.
My passion lies in the front/middle layers, because that is where the design and coding combination lies -- the aspects that require deep thought. E-Commerce is an industry that combines three dimensions - business, technology and design. Those are what I am interested in.
