Introduction

Breaking Down Barriers in the Tech Industry

As a full-stack developer with 5+ years of experience, I've had the privilege of working on various projects and collaborating with talented individuals from around the world. However, I've also encountered the challenges that come with being an Asian developer in a global industry. Geography can often be a silent barrier, making it difficult to break through location-based bias and establish long-term technical relationships.

My Background and Experience

I'm currently based in Hong Kong and have been working independently on the Upwork platform for the past 3 years. During this time, I've helped clients bring their ideas to life through scalable, efficient web solutions. My experience has taught me the importance of adaptability, communication, and problem-solving in a fast-paced development environment.

The Challenge of Location-Based Bias

Despite having the skills and dedication, I've often found that location-based bias can hinder my ability to collaborate with others. As an Asian developer, I've faced challenges in breaking through this barrier and establishing meaningful relationships with developers from other parts of the world. This is why I'm reaching out directly to you, with the hope of collaborating on a project that aligns with your goals and values.

Collaboration Opportunities

Contributor or Independent Partner

I'm not seeking a formal position at a company, but rather a chance to work with passionate developers on meaningful projects. If you're open to collaboration, I'd love to assist you as a contributor or a long-term independent partner. I'm excited to learn new technologies or frameworks and take ownership of projects that require my expertise.

Flexible Compensation

In terms of compensation, I'm happy to follow your lead. To build trust, I'm even open to contributing for free initially. The goal is to create value and prove that I can be a reliable part of your workflow. I believe that this approach will allow us to focus on the project's success rather than getting bogged down in financial negotiations.

Project Commitment

Full-Time Commitment

Once we get a project, I'm more than willing to commit full-time. I understand the importance of meeting deadlines and delivering high-quality results. I'm excited to work with you and your team to ensure that the project is completed successfully.

Learning and Growth

I'm also excited to learn any new technologies or frameworks that the project demands. This will not only help me grow as a developer but also lighten your workload. In an ideal situation where you have an urgent project but are unable to manage it due to family responsibilities or simply want to step into more of a CEO role, I'd be ready to step in, take ownership, and ensure everything runs smoothly.
