My Robot Programming Micromouse Illustration

In the first year of university, I met the world of C programmingC programming. We were solving basic problems, creating algorithms, and having funfun. It then opened up the endless possibilities of the modern world's technology.

Why though? Because we built robotsrobots, and I needed to program them using some accessible microcontrollersmicrocontrollers. That’s how the journey with robots began, and later, it continued through industrialindustrial applications.

Starting with the basics, continued with the advanced. After a couple of years, these are some topics in which I have been collecting experiencecollecting experience and applying to my fields of interest.

I started working on a ReactReact application project, using it as one of my professional life starters. This was the great beginning to my experience in modern web developmentmodern web development anddata visualizationdata visualization. This marked the moment as I finally started to upgrade my skillset.

These were my company's proprietary projects, and not just front-end applications. Within the same project, I also worked on a Node.jsNode.js server interfacing with the industrial product's plugin serviceplugin service. Surprisingly, I was also in charge of the development of this plugin.

Full-stack until the end. (^_^)

With a great start in React, I continued to discover new technologies and encountered the amazing world of 3D graphics3D graphics on the World Wide Web. With that, I started learning Three.jsThree.js for both professional and personal projects. I've created interactive visualizations, digital copies, and even the home page of this website.

What I'm Up to Now?

I am still working on full-stack web applicationsfull-stack web applications and Qt desktop applicationsQt desktop applications for both my professional life and personal projects. I've kept learning and expanding my skillset, and I am excited to showcase some of the tools and technologies I have been working with and gained proficiency in.
