About Me

Software Engineer

Professional Background:

I began my journey as a self-taught developer and further enhanced my skills through a bootcamp. Following my graduation, I secured an internship with Danicas Custom Bakes, which eventually led to my first junior software engineer position within a year.

Inspiration and Motivation:

My passion for building websites is fueled by the games and anime that shaped my upbringing. During my bootcamp, I developed a mock maid cafe website as a final project, and subsequently worked on a personal project inspired by Final Fantasy X, creating a Wikipedia-style website.

Aspirations and Goals:

  • Continuously grow as a full stack developer and expand my skillset.
  • Undertake novel and unique projects that showcase my abilities.
  • Explore emerging technologies, libraries, and programming languages to stay at the forefront of the industry.
  • Engage with coding communities and collaborate effectively with peers as a team-player.

  • Programming Languages:
    HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Typescript, Python, SQL
  • Frameworks and Libraries:
    React, React Native, Bootstrap, MaterialUI, NextUI, Next.js, Prisma, Node.js, Express, TailwindCSS
  • Databases:
