I have always been passionate about computers, the Internet and how people connect together. One of the biggest drive for me is to create a link between people using the cyberspace, making the world a bit closer. That was the reason why I chose to walk down the path of Full Stack Software Development. To me, it's always not about writing code, but it's how we solve problems with code.

Mint and Co. Accessories' e-commerce page
Nov 2015 - Jan 2016
I was employed briefly for Mint and Co. Accessories to build their new website. The requirements were simple and to the point: It has to look pretty, customizable and also have the full-fledged e-commerce functionalities. Everything was build from the ground up from Wordpress.

There are a lot of reasons why I chose Wordpress over Joomla, Drupal or any other widely-known CMS for this project:
+ WP is widely recognized and supported
+ WP is very customizable to the core, which fits to the requirement.
+ WP's customizable shopping cart feature (the WooCommerce plugin by WooThemes) is very powerful, in fact it's one of the most powerful e-commerce platform out there, competing neck-to-neck with Magento and Shopify, blowing Drupal and Joomla out ot the water.
+ WP allows us to develop using our own source code on our own hosted server, you cannot do this with Shopify.
