Donglan's Tech Journey

Aspiring Developer • Language Educator • Lifelong Learner

About Me

G’day! My name is Donglan. I’m a technology learner with growing expertise in cloud computing and web development. After years of teaching, I’m transitioning into the tech industry. In the classroom, I've developed skills in creativity, problem-solving, and adaptability - qualities that I'm now bringing into my technical journey with a commitment to continuous learning and delivering innovative solutions. I’m currently seeking opportunities to contribute to industry projects where I can build my technical expertise and strengthen my professional skills.

I have been developing skills in web development, cloud computing, networking, cybersecurity, and AI engineering through a combination of bootcamps, independent learning and online courses, and a university program.

I’ve been building projects that put my web development, React, Python, and UI design skills into practice, while also applying these tech skills to enhance language learning for my students, making classroom activities more engaging and fun. From interactive apps to team-driven hackathon projects, each one has been an opportunity for me to learn, experiment, and create something meaningful and useful.
