About Me

During my university days, I studied web development in one of my modules but unfortunately my interest for it back then only lasted until the end of my exams, likewise with the rest of my modules.

It was only after my studies and joined the workforce did my interest for web development grow into a passion because I felt that many of the business operations could be done faster on software. Pursuing my own self-study on web development piqued my interest to solve this problem.

With hard work and dedication, I was able to produce this portfolio. Despite knowing the endless challenges of learning code, overcoming it is more rewarding because with technology, the possibilities are endless to solving world problems. This personal experience drives me to learn new things if it can make someone's life a little better than before.

My skills are full stack with a primary focus on JavaScript, mainly using React on the front-end and Node & Express on the back-end. But I am eager to learn new technologies that ideally satisfy the project objective and user requirements.

I always consider a user-centered approach by developing apps that are user-friendly and mobile-responsive, with the prioritisation of functionality and stability for its production.
