About

Hi, I’m Mimi Lau — a full stack software engineer based in London, UK.

My journey began in 2011 as a web designer, crafting HTML and CSS websites. In 2016, I transitioned into front-end development, gaining valuable experience at startups like Aftership and digital agencies such as Red Ant Asia. These roles strengthened my technical skills, deepened my understanding of user-centric design, and enhanced my ability to communicate effectively in fast-paced teams.

In 2021, I made a big leap — relocating to the UK and joining Red Ant UK as a full stack software developer. It was a major change, with a new culture, language, and tech stack to adapt to, but it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience that I’m truly grateful for.
