I am a results-driven software developer originally from Cambodia, now based in Kilburn, Australia, with a Computer Science background and over one year of commercial full-stack development experience. I enjoy building responsive front-end and back-end applications using React.js, Node.js, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and PHP, and I have contributed to real-world systems through both commercial projects and volunteering in React-based academic and community projects. I thrive in Agile environments, design RESTful APIs, and deliver clean, maintainable code with a strong focus on user needs. Coming from a retail and customer-service background, I bring strong communication skills and a user-focused mindset, with the ability to translate business and user needs into practical technical solutions. I am passionate about modern UI/UX design, continuous learning, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve existing applications and craft intuitive interfaces.
