about me
Fascinated by software technology since young, I created my first webpages on geocities and angelfire when I was about 11 (circa year 2000).
After endeavoring on a couple of freelance website projects, the first major project I successfully completed was implementing an infosys management system for the military while in conscription. I was responsible and accountable for everything from gathering user requirements via on-the-job training, to negotiating and persuading the initiation of said project, to designing and developing the system from scratch in PHP, MySQL, jQuery, and setting up an intranet network for the system.
Afraid that I couldn’t catch up with technology after 2 years in the military, I almost gave up the tech career path. Yet ironically it was exactly the opportunity that I seized in the military which convinced me of my calling to a career in technology field, despite having graduated with a masters degree in accounting.
On hindsight, it is precisely I am armed with this dual skill set, that I am fully capable of understanding layman requirements and real world problems, and confidently translating them into actionable and practical solutions.
Since learning more is never bad, I am also fluent in the Japanese language. 🙂
