Joel Wong

Frontend Engineer at TikTok

My first experience coding was a free iOS app that actually got pretty popular. It inspired me to continue building user-friendly applications for the community with a design focus.

I also love delving into frontend frameworks and their optimizations.

When I'm not coding you will probably find me dancing to Hip Hop or playing the drums.
