Senior🎓
Top SchoolSophie Lai is a web developer with 8 years of professional experience who blends front-end engineering with a background in education to build accessible, user-focused web applications. She has shipped features and reusable components for marketplace and admin apps using Angular, Vue, Ionic and Tailwind, and pairs pixel-perfect implementation from Figma with data-driven insights like Google Tag Manager events. A former MYP teacher, Sophie brings strong curriculum-design and communication skills to cross-functional collaboration, documentation, and onboarding. She routinely leads QA, retrospectives, and end-to-end testing to maintain product quality and accelerate team velocity. Sophie’s appetite for languages—both spoken and programming—drives continuous learning and inclusive design, and she channels curiosity into real-world user experiences informed by international travel. Based in Markham, Ontario, she combines classroom-honed instruction techniques with practical front-end craftsmanship to make web products clearer, more usable, and more accessible.
