Louisa Shing

Hello, nice to meet you 👋🏻

Hello, I'm Louisa Shing—a former pharmacist turned software developer. My seven-year journey in healthcare sharpened my problem-solving skills and patient-centric focus, which I now bring to the tech industry.

Transitioning from healthcare to technology, I have spent the last two years at Tendo, a health-tech startup, where I became very familiar with React, TypeScript, GraphQL and Vite.
