My Journey in Web Development 

All About Me

Hello and welcome to my tech haven!

My name is Ella Bach, and I am a web design and development student at NAIT, working towards a career as a full-stack developer. I am currently on the Dean's Honour List with a GPA of 4.0. I bring to my work a combination of technical expertise and customer-focused experience.

I was born and raised in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and migrated to Australia when I was 17, starting my path of self-discovery and development. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Hospitality and Tourism Management and worked in customer service for almost ten years, especially enjoying my role as a corporate travel agent.

Moved to Vancouver in 2017 and continues my career path in the hospitality industry, I enrolled in the Post-Graduate diploma in Hospitality Marketing at Douglas College. However, the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic brought unexpected barriers for job hunting, and it motivated me to shift my focus. As a person who loves to learn new things and explore different path, I began self-learning design and coding, create a WordPress site to start selling my DIY Supplies, Figure Toys, and Custom Stickers. In 2021, I made the decision to further my technology skills by enrolling in NAIT's Digital Media and IT with Web Design and Development Concentration. The more I study the world of technology, the more I realize how strong it is and I need to keep learning to keep up with global innovation.

Join me on this exciting journey in coding, where each project brings fresh ideas to life. Let's innovate together and create something extraordinary!
