About
My name is Elvis Chan. As a Senior Front-end Engineer and Tech Leader with over 7 years of expertise in cutting-edge web technologies, I am dedicated to crafting exceptional user experiences, driving technological innovation, and leading high-performing teams. My career has spanned innovative startups and industry leaders in Vancouver, New York City, and Silicon Valley, providing me with diverse experiences that have shaped my technical and leadership growth.
I excel in transforming complex designs into efficient, responsive user interfaces that meet aesthetic standards while delivering optimal performance and maintainability. My technical portfolio includes developing React SPA and SSR applications, React Native apps, and spearheading the implementation of custom component libraries. What sets me apart is not just my technical proficiency, but my holistic approach to development and team leadership.
In leadership roles, I've served as a Scrum Master, Dev Lead, and mentored emerging talent, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement. I've led cross-functional teams, driving projects from conception to completion under tight deadlines. My rapid progression to leadership positions, including Staff Engineer within a year, demonstrates my ability to influence feature design, product strategy, and team dynamics positively.
While my core expertise is front-end engineering, I also work on backend API development using TypeScript and NodeJS. I continuously explore emerging web technologies to keep my team and projects at the forefront of industry trends. I approach challenges with a proactive, can-do attitude, recognizing that while I may not have immediate answers to every question, I possess the drive and resourcefulness to conduct thorough research and deliver effective, impactful solutions.
My ability to see beyond the code—to understand the broader business context and strategic implications of technical decisions—enables me to contribute significantly to product strategy and organizational goals. This combination of technical acumen, leadership skills, continuous learning, and strategic thinking positions me as a valuable asset in creating digital experiences that not only meet immediate business objectives but also stand the test of time, delighting both internal teams and external users.

Elevating Teams with Technical Excellence and Collaborative Spirit
Elvis is a truly stellar engineer, collaborator, and team-member. I had the pleasure of working closely with Elvis for about two years and his impact on the product, codebase, and organization cannot be overstated. Elvis is a rare combination of technical abilities (with obvious expertise in front-end development), strong work ethic, high attention to detail and on quality, and an ability to effectively collaborate that pushes towards better outcomes without becoming gridlocked by debate. In short, Elvis levels up an EPD (engineering/product/design) team and is a no-brainer for any project or organization.
Nate Smith
Principal Front-End Engineer
A Front-End Maestro Delivering High-Quality, Efficient Solutions
I've had the opportunity to work with Elvis in two different companies. Leading design system and React component development for complex cloud solutions is right up his alley. When he rolls up his sleeves to code, his strong front-end development skills and outcome-driven mindset enable him to solve tough technical and business problems quickly. Yet, he doesn't skimp on quality. In the projects we worked on together, he led the adoption of React Testing Library and Cypress for automated testing, which resulted in high-quality deliveries at speed. Consider yourself lucky if you can bring such a rare gem like Elvis on your team!
Terry Chiu
SDET Lead
A masterful web developer and team player with exceptional problem-solving skills and attention to detail
I had the pleasure of working with Elvis rather closely. He is a phenomenal web developer, and an incredible team player. We worked along side one another building APIs and integrating them into the front-end and his ability to build and communicate a process that worked for both of us in a timely fashion was a skill any team would be lucky to gain. His attention to detail and creative approach to problem solving really show in his work, and I would be honored to be on the same team with Elvis again.
Megan Whitelavich
Full-stack Developer
Empowering growth through supportive leadership and collaboration
I have had a great time working with Elvis as a backend engineer within his team at Certn. Elvis is supportive and friendly to my growth as an intermediate backend engineer whilst giving me the patience and time to grow my programming skills through the projects we did as a team. He is able to cross collaborate effectively with other team members to ensure tasks and goals get achieved.
