I am currently a Full Stack Developer taking life one step at a time
I've always been interested and curious to learn and understand how things work in both the software and hardware side of technology then how to make them work so app/software development was a clear choice for me.
I've worked in both consultancy and product-based businesses like startups for 5 years+ so I know what it takes to start a product from the ground up to deployment and also to monitor, scale up, and maintain a growing product and userbase.
My professional tech stack is mostly Javascript-based React, React Native, Next, Node, and Express but now I've moved to Kotlin and Android with PHP Laravel Backend. I believe technology is only a tool and it's the concepts that are important.
Throughout my professional journey, I've learned firsthand the importance of appreciation and being thankful. There are a lot of non-technical skills that is essential to have such as being a team player, an excellent and clear communicator both verbal and written, analysis and problem solving skills, the ability to wear different hats, appreciate and work with all teams (UI/UX, QA, Stakeholders, Business Intelligence, and Customer Support), openness to feedback/improvement, and desire for lifelong learning.
Anyways, I'm currently learning more about Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, C++ and DSP, among other things.
