About me

Get to know me 😉

I'm a final-year Software Engineering student at the Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Information Technology (UniKL MIIT). I have a strong passion for programming and developing software, from simple landing pages to complex web, mobile and desktop applications. I have also obtained several certificates that prove my commitment to lifelong learning.

I started my journey into the world of programming at 15, taking computer science classes during my high school years. I don't imagine myself doing anything else as seriously. Since then, I've continued to grow and evolve as a developer, always looking for new challenges and opportunities to learn the latest technologies.

I'm someone who plans ahead, always thinking of proper solutions for my projects or assignments. I'm a dedicated team player with a strong work ethic. Also, I'm certainly someone who you can fully trust to get a job done well.

Whenever I am not coding or programming, I like to spend that leisure time by watching new TV shows or movies, reading blogs or social posts, or following new programming tutorials.
