Hello! Writing about myself is always the toughest part, so i will start of simple.
I was born in Hong Kong in 1997 and moved to Stockholm when I was one; since then I’ve lived here for 27 years.

As a kid, I really liked computer games; I played a bunch of OSRS, WoW, CS, and more. Then in my teens I mixed that with skateboarding and skiing.

My coding debut came in 2021 with FreeCodeCamp’s Cat Photo challenge. From there I picked up a couple of C# courses before landing a spot in the two-year Java Full-Stack program at Stockholms Tekniska Institut in 2022.

After graduating, I co-founded WebeEase with three friends. Then, in early 2025, I struck out on my own as a freelance full-stack developer.

Outside work, I like to get lost in random projects; it can be everything from Three.js, Linux, Rust, C, and more. A curious hardware journey started when I discovered a tiny tucked inside a moving box: it had just 2 GB of RAM, a dual-core Intel CPU, and a 2 GB swap partition. It works pretty well running Alpine Linux—I’ve used it to play with Docker, Apache, etc.

Outside coding, I like listening to music (and occasionally trying to make some —I suck at it), making videos, and spending time with friends!

Battle Programmer Simon? That nickname comes from the anime Battle Programmer Shirase I just swapped the names. Fair warning: it has a few NSFW moments, but my favorite scene is when Shirase gets a bunch of keyboards delivered, snips and splices all their cables into one giant circuit, then codes across every single board at 10,000 APM.

Thank you for reading thus far, and I hope you enjoy the website.
