My name is Hieu Lai, but you already know that. I’m an aspiring Front End Developer, with the desire to become Full Stack in the future. I have a Bachelor of Commerce (Management and Marketing) and now a debt the size of the Great Wall of China. Don't let that picture fool you, deep down it hurts.

For now, I’m in search of a great company to take me on as a junior developer, so that I can learn and develop my coding, and experience the lifecycle of a web project from concept to production. I'm up for any challenges, except ones that include heights, I will nope right out of there.

Tic Tac Toe

Tried to implement my own algorithm for the AI, however it did not go as planned. Let’s just say, could have saved a lot of time and stress using Math.random(), then again that’s what we’re here for. A minimax algo was instead adopted. Utilised jQuery for animation.
