Summary
Shaun Xiao is a Front End Engineer based in Sydney with nine years of software development experience and a Master of Computer Science from the University of Wollongong. He brings deep front-end expertise across React, Angular (1 and 2+), Vue, and modern JavaScript (ES6+), complemented by back-end Node.js frameworks like Express, Koa and Nest. At Canva since 2018, Shaun focuses on shipping polished user interfaces and improving developer toolchains using ESLint/TSLint, Webpack and testing tools such as Karma and Jasmine. His background spans desktop Qt/C++ and C# WinForm development as well as hybrid mobile frameworks (Ionic, NativeScript), giving him a practical cross-platform perspective not obvious from a pure web résumé. He is comfortable designing full-stack solutions, from RESTful servers and MongoDB-backed MVC to front-end performance and UI framework selection. Shaun is a continuous learner who blends academic AI/software-engineering training with hands-on production experience to rapidly adapt to new technologies.
