About Me
I'm a highly-motivated individual and a quick-learner, and I'm from Malaysia.
My Story
I've been travelling the path less travelled.
I was homeschooled from the age of 10 until 16.
My journey into programming started when I was 13, writing my first JavaScript code on a platform called KhanAcademy.
Long story short, programming became something I enjoy doing as a hobby
and I decided to take it seriously as a career in 2017, and have never looked back. 🤓
My Tech Stack
When it comes to languages, I write Ruby, JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
I've worked with frameworks and libraries such as Ruby on Rails, React.js, Redux.js, Redux-Saga, Cypress, SCSS.
And I use Git for version control.
At the moment, I'm focused on strengthening my skills on the technologies that
I usually work with, along with learning AWS, Node.js and Express.js.
Other Facts About Me
I'm an avid reader, I'm interested in history, I'm a suffering Man United fan and I love to listen to music. Oasis and Franz Ferdinand are a few of my favourite bands. I've been working for Suria Labs since January 2018. In fact, it's my first ever (and thus far, only) job. ✌️
