My name's Michelle.
Having worked in Banking and Finance, Accounting in ten years, after a few years of transition spending time in freelancing both data analysis and buidling application I started working in software development in a finance start-up which was relatively close to my background.
My responsibility was while providing supports to the team as a team leader, I built and completed electronic trading workflow, facilitate the liquidity of derivatives dealers with the low cost and scale of system, real time execution in the global interest rate swap and options market.
My now and then work as a freelancer consists of helping companies and researchers to analyse their datasets, bulding a micro service application. I enjoy all things coding and hope to eventually push the boundaries of the current scope. Complex frameworks I have been working are ReactJS, NextJS, Svelte, NodeJs, FastAPI, DJango, Java Springbot.
Current focus is the creations of automated solutions for ensuring restructured platforms perform at least an order of magnitude better, going forward. This includes implementation of CI/CD pipelines and overall workflow improvements, AWS Clould Service as a professional, Blockchain.
I've developed innovative analytical tools and techniques - my own wide range of skillset over years and I believe these various tools will help me accelerate the work, simplify the complex matter and interpret the data in a way everyone can easily understand. Now in turn, let me help your business growth and overcome these hurdles. I'm open for any collaboration.

Q&A Section
How did you build this site?
This is the third time I build my own portfolio. Starting from a very simple plain HTML, CSS and moving forward to a complex framework like react and fastapi, this time I implemented the new features from NextJS with a rendered server site, decorated by using TailwindCSS, deployed to Vercel. The reason why I choose this framework because their attractiveness - it's React-based and combined with flexibility in rendering, it made the code looked tight and neat. While making this website I also received the support from vercel team via Twitter messages. That made me feel more inclusively to the global tech movement.
Why did you choose to work in IT?
How did I go from finance to software engineer, it was definitely not an overnight story. My background was in Finance but what I can say is the life guiding me through. In 2020, I was having an injury and in the middle of Covid-19 pandemic I lost a job, I started to work online which didn't require my physical ability. I've learnt coding and picked up projects since then. I found these were actually so cool and as the matter of the fact that you don't need a permission to do what you want to do in life. A highschool girl past over 15 years achieved the highest ranking in Programming Pascal Class didn't expect this was something that she can do. This had fueled my confidence optimistically to keep going and exploring.
