Fei Gao

Summary

I am a full-stack web developer interested in solving real-world problems with technology.

I enjoy stretching my mind to its limit, concentrating and losing myself in thinking and implementing creative solutions to real-world problems. I am a team player with an eye for detail. Experienced with JavaScript, Ruby, HTML, CSS.
