Kelly Phan

Software Engineer

About1995

I’m a freelance Frontend Developer from Paris, France, specialized in building SaaS products. I’ve been in the industry for over five years, bringing ideas to life through thoughtful design and clean, efficient code.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with successful scale-ups, growing startups, and small studios, collaborating with talented and passionate people along the way.

I graduated from HETIC in 2020, where I learned everything from web development and interface design to digital marketing. I’m curious, detail-oriented (maybe a bit of a perfectionist), and love creating things that people enjoy using.

When I’m not coding, I’m probably thinking about interior design, enjoying Vietnamese food, or contemplating how life is easier without glasses, but we can chat about it more later...
