About Me

Hi! I'm John, currently working as a full-stack developer for a well-known publisher in the US.

I discovered coding from my MS Access textbook on a summer break in 2008. I was delighted designing forms and popping up message boxes, and eventually wanted to move it out of Access. Web surfing at internet cafes led me to discover Visual Studio. Fast-forward to today, coding has become my bread and butter.

I like video games, particularly rhythm and racing such as Crash Team Racing, Guitar Freaks/Drum Mania, and Wangan Midnight. I also play a few MOBA games like League of Legends: Wild Rift and Mobile Legends.

I love old tech and own some fine computers, such as Dell Latitude C610, ThinkPad X220, and ThinkPad T60.

Open to new and exciting opportunities. You can contact me on Linkedin or by email at john (at) jhnsprtu.com.
