ABOUT ME
Full stack web developer with 10+ years of experience using the LAMP stack
Full stack web developer with 10+ years of experience using the LAMP stack
I am as passionate about web development as you are about your next project!
I am currently employed as a Chief Software Architect at Obibox, which is a fast growing package delivery SaaS platform. As such, I know intimately well how to write flexible, robust, and scalable code.
Building things for the web is what gets me up in the morning, and I thrive on bringing other people's ideas to life.

The vast majority of the web runs on PHP. Even with the influx of frameworks and languages in recent years, PHP is still king of the web. PHP is my bread and butter and I have been developing in PHP pretty much non stop for over a decade, learning the quirks and subtle nuiances of the language.

While I do consider myself a proficient Javascript user and have developed a fair amount of personal projects in Angular, Vue, NodeJS, Ionic, I always come back to jQuery for my main projects. Unless being a single page application is a hard requirement, I have never encountered something that I couldn't do in jQuery that I could've done easier using another library/framework.

At its most basic, a website is just HTML and CSS being interpreted by a web browser. Regardless if you consider yourself a backend or frontend web developer, knowing even a basic amount of HTML and CSS is REQUIRED. I've been making websites in HTML and CSS for about a decade and a half now, and as a web developer they are 2 "languages" that I use on a daily basis.

A certain level of knowledge in server administration is essential for web development. Knowing how to deploy and maintain the infrastructure that your code is running on is an important skill for every web developer to have. Through the years I've successfully deployed over a dozen web apps to linux servers, and even though I am a developer I am more than comfortable doing systems administration tasks when required.

I led the end-to-end development of Joowal, a next-gen services hub designed to empower individuals across Southeast Asia. I architected the platform infrastructure using scalable technologies, ensuring high performance and rapid growth.
To enhance user engagement and satisfaction, I introduced AI-driven service matching, social media integrations, and innovative automation tools. Beyond the technical execution, I collaborated with co-founders to shape the business model, aligning product strategy with market needs. Joowal successfully launched in Malaysia, attracting 100+ users within the first week of its beta release, marking a strong entry into the regional market.
