About

Welcome! I’m Ru-Hsuan Ding (Jeff), an international student from Taiwan majoring in Web Development. I hold an Associate degree in Web Development and a certificate in Computer Science.

I currently work as a Web Developer at Origin Brand Merch, where I build and customize digital experiences. In 2023, I transitioned from the fitness industry to pursue my passion for technology. I enjoy solving problems, creating intuitive interfaces, and building tools that make people’s lives easier.

Before my current role, I gained valuable experience as a Developer Intern at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and completed the HeadStarter AI Software Engineering Fellowship. These opportunities strengthened my skills in front-end and back-end development and helped shape my path in tech.

My goal is to keep growing as a full-stack developer and use technology to contribute to meaningful, real-world solutions.

Outside of coding, I love staying active—lifting, playing basketball, and cooking. A healthy lifestyle helps me stay focused, creative, and motivated.
