My Story

About me...

Hello! My name is Evan Wong and I am a recent graduate from the University of Calgary! I am a major in Computer Science and am an aspiring software developer. I was born in Edmonton and have lived there all my life until Summer of 2018 when I moved to Calgary to pursue my passion. My passtimes include hiking, badminton, table tennis, gaming, working on cars, and creating software and applications (like this site!).

I am currently looking for new opportunities in the software development field, you can scroll down to see my past experience and projects!

Experience

Leadership

I've had experience participating in many teams and groups, ranging from 2-person teams to 20+ member groups. I am used to taking charge and providing support in all aspects of the team, from front-end design to back-end logic and databases. I am always on top of my due dates, and my countless team projects throughout my University career has helped me and guided me towards being a disciplined and skilled programmer.

Languages

I excel in Java and C# in all aspects, from game design to socket programming. However, I am also extremely fluent in all types of SDKs. I have extensive experience in Python, utilizing libraries like numpy. I have well over 400 hours coding in C and C++, from optimizing code to developing fully-fledged games from scratch using OpenGL and PhysX. I have very good HTML and PHP skills, having developed this website as well as completing a workplace hour tracking website within a 3-day deadline. This allowed me to polish my skills with SQL queries and databases for websites. I have experience building mobile apps as well, using Android Studio to design and create a functioning drawing app. I have also dabbled in languages such as Assembly and Haskell, both of which I have completed many assignments in while pursuing my University degree.

Ecommerce

In an effort to convert my side hobby into a self-propelling investment, myself and a team of friends have started a company called GarageTuned, an online eCommerce shop catered towards young to middle-aged individuals who have a passion and interest in motorsport and vehicle aesthetics. I have gathered tons of experience with website creation, client wants and needs, as well as strategy in an effort to propel the company forwards utilizing social media and marketing.

Jobs

I have had a variety of jobs, from high school up until now. I have had experience in marketing (specifically with College Pro), where I was in charge of directly communicating and pitching sales to a potential customer. I have experience in customer service, both from working for Gong Cha and Lucky Lemons as both cashier and bartender. I also have experience in manual labour, working for Drake International as a warehouse worker. All of these jobs have been fast-paced and require teamwork, coordination, time management, and ensuring customer satisfaction. I have exceled in all of my part-time jobs and have proven to be a vital member of the team in all of the work I have participated in. Most recently, I have worked as both a freelance web developer (for local restaurants/businesses such as Pearl River Restaurant and GarageTuned), as well as full-time at TCL Supply Chain Inc. as a Customer Service Representative, working on Excel data manipulation and entry. Now I am looking for something permanent to which I can utilize my true expertise, as well as incorporate the important work habits that I have developed through these jobs into my future workplace.
