Ashley's current music rotation
I'm Ashley Chang, a Frontend Software Engineer who builds fast, reliable, and human-centered digital experiences.
I write clean, scalable code that brings clarity and structure to everyday tools — crafting interfaces that are both elegant and performant.
My latest project, MONU, is a digital planner app now live on the App Store. I designed it in Figma, developed it with SwiftUI, and integrated AWS Amplify for cloud functionality — leading the entire process from concept to deployment. Projects like this strengthened my ability to move seamlessly between product design and engineering, turning ideas into polished, production-ready applications.
Outside of coding, I find inspiration in journaling, music, fitness, and time with my two dogs — reminders to stay curious, balanced, and creative in both life and work.
📍 Based in Houston, excited about both local and remote opportunities.
I'm a passionate cellist. Playing the cello gives me a deep appreciation for creativity, rhythm, and harmony—something I try to bring into my design work as well.
I have two dogs who have a way of keeping me lighthearted and embracing life's simplicity.
Building deep understanding through teaching and documentation
I believe the best way to prove you've truly learned something is to teach it to someone else. That's why I create comprehensive guides and resources as I master new concepts.
Learning should feel good, not stressful. When you enjoy the process, you retain more, stay motivated longer, and actually want to keep growing.
A comprehensive HTML guide covering fundamental algorithms and data structures. This resource demonstrates my systematic approach to learning complex computer science concepts by breaking them down into digestible, well-documented explanations.
I don't just skim the surface. I dive deep into concepts until I understand the underlying principles.
Creating comprehensive guides helps me solidify my understanding and creates value for others.
I apply what I learn by building real applications, turning theory into practical experience.
Learning should be enjoyable, not stressful. When you enjoy the process, you retain more and stay motivated longer.
