Hello, I'm Siaw
Fullstack
Developer
I craft exceptional digital experiences with clean code and creative solutions. Specialized in React, Next.js, and full-stack development.
What I'm Into
Beyond code, I'm passionate about books and music. Here's what I'm currently exploring.
A Bit More Personal
When I'm not building software, you'll find me diving into books that challenge my thinking or getting lost in music that fuels my creativity.
I believe that the best developers are well-rounded individuals who draw inspiration from various sources. Books give me new perspectives, and music keeps me in the flow.
Check out the Books tab to see what I'm reading, and the Music tab for my current Spotify obsessions.
