I thought of creating an emoji representation of myself on a laptop, something that Youtuber Marques Brownlee did for his <a href="http://mkbhd.com/">website</a>. Another idea was to have an animated background with floating binary digits. I tried to design a few but did not hit that <em>eureka</em> moment.</p> <p>Finally, I thought, what better way to portray a coder than a piece of code on a dark background!</p> <p>I found the <a href="https://github.com/mattboldt/typed.js/">typed.js</a> library by <strong>Matt Boldt</strong> and tweaked it to my design. After a day of troubleshooting, <em>et voila</em>.</p> <p>When I viewed the prototype on my mobile device browser, it didn't really provide a good impression as the code block became messy due to the limited display area. This is when I decided to have two views: A coding view for desktop and a simple business view for mobile devices.</p> <p>The mobile view is intended to provide quick information without clutter while the desktop view would highlight the <em>&lt;/dev&gt;</em> me.</p> <p>Have a look at the views for different devices and let me know your thoughts.

I have previously completed 3 internships to strengthen my development and interpersonal skills. I am also an ISTQB Certified Foundation Level tester and I incorporate the knowledge to write effective code. </p> <p>If you are looking to fill a junior/entry-level Software Engineering role, please review my profile and give me a chance to present myself.
