After about 10+ years of trying out different roles under different environments around Sydney and assuring my parents that, yes, I do have a real job, I've come to terms with the fact that I'm really good at two things: User centered design and writing clean code. I'm one of "those" who like my code to be as good looking, readable and attractive as my designs are, which means adhering to best practices. I'm really passionate about my work, straightforward with a unique sense of humour, an admirer of sarcasm, and always on the lookout for inspiration to artistically express myself.

Technology (both Web2 and Web3) is evolving faster than a speeding bullet and I try my best to keep up in my own way. My morning ritual starts with a cup of coffee, some avocado toast and spending about 15-20 minutes going through the several hundred bookmarks on my browser consisting of tech blogs, creative inspirations, trending development practices, and fresh new ideas on design.
