Designing the future, powering the present.

About

My journey into technology began with a childhood fascination for computers, fueled by hours spent gaming and exploring the internet. In high school, I was introduced to C and SQL, which sparked my curiosity for programming. However, I never considered studying computer science, as I was raised with the expectation of becoming a medical doctor—the conventional path for "smart kids."

In 2017, during university, I rediscovered my passion for coding and building software to solve real-world problems and began honing my skills. While working as a recruiter during my national service year, I continued to expand my software engineering expertise. That same year, I started a role as a software engineer in London and collaborated seasonally with an AI/Blockchain company, immersing myself in web3 and AI technologies.

Currently, I focus on leveraging my experience across multiple tech stacks to develop scalable software solutions and drive innovation in AI and blockchain technology. I am passionate about creating practical applications that address modern challenges while contributing to the growth of emerging technologies.

Beyond coding, I enjoy playing the guitar and exploring YouTube to "feed my curiosity." For me, it's not just about the code—it's about orchestrating a symphony of skills and experiences that reflect my passion for technology.
