Hi, I'm XIAOHONG XU — MEng Systems Design (Waterloo ’25) & BSc CS (SFU ’24). I’m a product‑minded full‑stack engineer helping a startup build prototypes and MVPs and have hands-on experience in full-stack development, SEO optimization, cloud solutions, and AI applications. I've contributed to startups and established teams, building scalable web platforms, management dashboard, automating workflows, and leading projects from concept to deployment. Beyond code, I operate like a product owner—validating real problems, shaping lean MVPs, aligning stakeholders, and structuring information into scalable, evolving user experiences.

About me

With experience across both startups and established companies, I specialize in taking projects from initial concept through to deployment. I've built systems that serve hundreds of users daily, integrated complex APIs, and led cross-functional teams to deliver scalable solutions. Notable projects include a warehouse management system at Batchship, legal workflow automation at LeGT.ai, a global hackathon platform at Hackhub, and currently a healthcare management platform at Axon Health.

As a freelancer and entrepreneur, I have independently developed multiple projects: (1) Sonwly App—a WeChat mini-app and React Native mobile app for ski enthusiasts, (2) ProMatch—an AI-powered recruitment platform where I led a team, (3) a fitness ecosystem platform with calorie tracking and gym/trainer marketplace features, and (4) Website migration and SEO optimization services, helping local businesses migrate from Wix to cost-effective solutions while providing SEO optimization. I'm passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems and always eager to learn new tools and frameworks.
