David T.

Hi, I’m David Tang. I’m a software engineer from Los Angeles. My expertise is in web technologies with professional working experience with Ember, Ember Data, JSON:API, and plain JavaScript. I value testing and test-driven development (TDD), convention over configuration, and embracing standards.

My passion lies on the front-end building great user experiences, but I also have professional experience on the backend working with PHP, Laravel, Node, and SQL.

I’m the author of the book Ember Data in the Wild and the SitePoint video course Test-Driven Development in Node.js.

I’m also a part-time lecturer at the University of Southern California, teaching web development courses to students from all backgrounds.

Outside of my tech life, I live a plant-based lifestyle, play ice hockey, and enjoy traveling the world with my wife.
