Engineer.Builder.Matcha whisker.

Seven years of shipping. Own products on the side.

the short version · Kuala Lumpur

Seven years shipping PHP, Ruby and data products, from e-commerce platforms to enterprise data migration. The Google UX Design Certificate changed my order of operations: understand the people first, then design, then code.

Outside work I build my own products. Sprint Verdict helps Jira teams plan sprints they can actually finish, and LaluanLive tells Klang Valley riders when their train line is delayed. I also take on freelance web projects, and I make matcha recipe videos.
