About Me
I am a Software Engineer currently working in embedded systems. I started in iOS development and eventually grew to enjoy web development—both front-end and back-end. Who would have known that user interfaces would be a love/hate relationship? There's a constant battle between finding inspiration and enjoying the final product.
While trying to discover inspiration for web design, I often spend my time building RESTful APIs. I'm proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C/C++, and Python, and I work primarily in ReactJS and VueJS.
In my free time, I enjoy building interesting projects and experimenting with new technologies. Lately, I've been working on various Node.js APIs that integrate with browser extensions.
When I'm not programming, you'll find me reading my Bible or spending time with family. The Bible has given me so much wisdom in life and has taught me deeply about the grace of God. My personal library has grown to over 100 books. Some of my favorite study resources include:
Desiring God
John Piper's ministry
Grace To You
John MacArthur's teaching
Truth For Life
Alistair Begg's ministry

The Most Important QuestionYou'll Ever Consider
Life's Ultimate Question
If you were to die today, do you know for sure that you would go to heaven?
The Divine Inquiry
Suppose you were to stand before God and He asked, “Why should I let you into My heaven?” — What would you say?
These aren't easy questions. But they are life-changing. The Bible offers a clear answer, and it's not about being “good enough.”
The good news of the Gospel is a gift — not something we earn.
