About Me

A story of growth and discovery.

Hello! You can call me Clarence.

I am a Software Engineer who works with the React ecosystem and writes to teach people how to rebuild and redefine fundamental concepts through mental models.

I started learning web development back in May 2020. What started as a hobby during the pandemic quickly turned into a passion for building digital experiences that are both functional and beautiful.

As part of my learning journey, I started writing blog articles as a way to solidify my knowledge. Documenting my approach has helped me and hopefully, it can help you too.

What I'm up to now

  • Full-stack engineer building scalable web applications.
  • Regularly exploring new tech stacks and sharing mental models.
  • Mentoring aspiring developers through code reviews and guidance.
  • Solo traveling and capturing memories around the world. ✈️
