about myself

Extroverted? Constantly. Creating comfortable spaces for those around me so people are always feeling at their best is my goal. I've utilised my people skills to host a multitude of functions ranging from smaller work events to large scale social and professional events. Moreover, the range of projects that I've had the privilege of seeing through from inception to delivery can really speak for my conflict resolution skills in addition to my technological prowess.

That's all fine and dandy, but wait, there's more! 140 kg's to 82 kg's over the span of 4 years, my weight loss story showcases my dedication and willpower. The transition also allowed me to be much more fit and flexible throughout the variety of sports I play socially as well as competitively. When I'm not running in circles with some ball in my hand, I'm at home hacking away at a new technology to see how it can be implemented alongside my wide knowledge of languages and frameworks to be able to build something truly magical.

Currently a Permanent Resident in Melbourne.

Job History

The experiences I've had really broadens my ability to tackle different types of problems, be it resolved by human connection or technological invention.

Professional Emcee

Malaysia/Melbourne

My easygoing personality helps the people I speak to feel at ease and holding a room is just as simple. I love making people laugh with my creative use of wit as well as deliver inspiring speeches that keeps the crowd on their toes. I have worked a variety of events from social cultural nights to workplace townhalls which sometimes feature attendees in the thousands.

Tech Stream Trainee

Accenture Digital

My seat right next to my cheerful project director combined with the open floor plan of my project really allowed me to immerse myself in the various teams involved in this project which is essential to understanding the end to end project lifecycle. The project involved building a state of the art mobile banking application which really revolutionised my insights on the limits of financial technology.

Junior Full Stack Dev

SWiM Communications

As junior developer learning the ropes of the entire full stack in a small company, I was given a lot of responsibility which provided a great opportunity to learn of which included performing backup, maintenance and security checks for a variety of clients. My people skills were invaluable in understanding the problem each customer was facing and relating to it to be able to reach a more effective solution. I had the opportunity to work with Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP Laravel for this role.

Senior Full Stack Dev

Techreative

This role was really my bread and butter when it came to paving my career path as I moved from a young bright-eyed junior dev into a foundationally strong, industry battle-tested veteran. We started as a very small company, but have grown to 5x our original size since. As is the nature of a small company, you have to learn how to do everything end to end as there is no fallback option. My job involves talking to C-level clients and advising them on technical feasibility in layman's terms, taking away their requirements and converting them into actionable programming tasks, of which the more complex ones I would take for myself whilst mentoring a team of junior devs to resolve some of the simpler ones. I have used so many technologies over the years that it would be hard to list them all, but some of the more prominent ones in no particular order would be React, Vue, Svelte, Django, Node.js, Meteor.js, Next.js, Amazon Web Services, Docker.

Tecnical Jargon

If I told you 100 years ago that I'd be able to speak with another person on the other side of the globe almost instantly, I'd be admitted for a psychiatric evaluation almost instantly. The real wonder comes from trying to figure out where we will be 100 years into the future. That's why I love technology.

Front End Development

React, Vue, Svelte, Blaze, Tailwind CSS, Typescript are tools that I've used to great effect. Another candidate worth a mention is the Python Django Templating Engine for it's blazing fast form page development time since it leverages Server Side Rendering.

Back End Development

Python Django, Node.js, Meteor.js, Next.js(the last 2 are just wrappers around Node), REST & GraphQL APIS, Flutter(Dart), Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB come to mind when I think backend. Meteor.js uses pub-sub architecture to allow seamless updates to all connected clients when the server is updated.

Cloud Development

Amazon Web Services, Elastic Container Service(ECS), Elastic Container Registry(ECR), AWS Fargate, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure. Getting all the apps up and running in a variety of cloud providers gives you mobility and by extension, maintainability. Did I mention Github Actions?

The Rest

Jupyter Notebook, R and Anaconda, Swift, Android Studio/Jetpack, React Native allowed me to build stunning mobile apps such as a logistics app and a skin cancer detection app. Java and PHP Laravel, I find are also quite easy to use. I have worked across Linux, Mac, Windows runtimes. The more languages you know, the easier it is pick up a new one. I do fancy an afternoon poking away at ground breaking tech.
