ABOUT ME

I am a developer/PM/angel investor, primarily active in the web dev community. I grew up in Singapore πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬, but have worked mostly in the US πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ/UK πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§, most recently remotely out of New York City πŸ—½ working on Developer Experience for Netlify, Amazon Web Services, and now Temporal. I am currently physically in Singapore due to COVID. I am best known for being a #LearnInPublic evangelist and my speaking/writing on React, JavaScript and the future of the Web. I am also known for my technical/book reviews, from TypeScript in 50 Lessons, Programming TypeScript, Landing Page Hot Tips, and The GraphQL Guide. In a past life I was a currency options trader turned TMT hedge fund analyst as well, and I often do approach tech from an investing and risk management angle.
