Senior🎓
Top SchoolJax Chen is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years’ experience building native and high-performance cross-platform mobile apps, currently delivering products at Sportsbet in Greater Melbourne. He blends hands-on iOS and React Native development with practical Agile/Scrum leadership, having acted as Scrum Master and introduced team tooling and practices earlier in his career. Jax has a strong foundation in telecommunications and software engineering (Bachelor's and Master's from Beijing University of Post and Telecommunications) and began his career in analysis, testing and deployment at China Unicom Research Institute. He contributes to open-source mobile tooling—improving the widely used react-native-multi-slider with usability and platform fixes—reflecting attention to UX details like overlapping and snapping markers. Comfortable shipping complex features (iBeacon, APNS, Core Data migrations) and maintaining legacy systems, he pairs product-focused design sensibilities with disciplined engineering and testing. Colleagues describe him as creative, detail-oriented, and equally effective working independently or within cross-functional teams.
