Hi, I’m Michael Zhang. I’m a Front-End Developer with 10+ years of experience delivering responsive, user-centric web applications for government and enterprise clients. I specialize in Angular, TypeScript, and GIS integration, with a strong focus on UI/UX design systems, accessibility, and scalable front-end architectures. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy turning complex requirements into elegant, performant interfaces.
I translate business needs into intuitive experiences through wireframing, prototyping, and iterative testing, working closely with cross-functional teams to ship robust, accessible solutions. I’m comfortable with DevOps workflows (Azure, GitLab) and enjoy turning data-heavy applications into user-friendly experiences that meet WCAG standards and performance goals.
