A little more than two years ago, Zhengping decided to switch careers and become a software developer. After teaching himself the basics of web development, he started looking for real-world projects where he could hone his skills. After fixing a few frontend bugs on addons.mozilla.org (AMO), Zhengping began contributing code the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/mozilla\/addons-code-manager\">add-ons code manager<\/a>, a new tool to help keep add-on users safe.<\/p>\n<p>In the following months, he tackled increasingly harder issues, like using TypeScript with React to create complex UI with precision and efficiency. His contributions helped the add-ons team complete the first iteration of the code manager, and he continued to provide important patches based on feedback from add-on reviewers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe comments from staff members in code review helped me deepen my understanding of what is good code,\u201d Zhengping notes. \u201cPeople on the add-ons team, staff and contributors, are very friendly and willing to help,\u201d he says. \u201cIt is a wonderful experience to work with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he isn\u2019t coding, Zhengping enjoys skiing.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much for all of your wonderful contributions to the Firefox add-ons community, Zhengping!<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in getting involved with the add-ons community, please take a look at our current<a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Add-ons\/Contribute\"> contribution opportunities<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please meet our newest Friend of Add-ons, Zhengping!
