Rewind to 2020, I pivoted to software engineering after getting my Bachelor's in English. To this day, the creative process of breaking down complex scenarios into actionable items still fascinates me, and this is where I see my value lies: not just in coding, but in solving problems.
Throughout my career, I started as a full stack developer and gradually leaned towards frontend development, contributing to applications from landing pages for PChome to interfaces for kiosk machines using NextJS, Typescript, TailwinsCSS, and many more. Towards the end of my previous role, I bridged frontend development and DevOps, writing DockerFiles, Kubernetes config to optimize CI/CD pipelines.
I like to think of myself as software: constantly iterating, evolving with each version.
When I'm not at the computer, I enjoy climbing and hiking, and lately I've been trying trail running as well.
