The longer story.

I'm Bryan — a developer in Singapore who's been building for the web for the better part of a decade. These days I lead web development at a startup, but this site isn't about that.

This is where I'm trying to rediscover why I got into programming in the first place. Somewhere between shipping features and fighting deadlines, I lost the joy of building for its own sake. I'm trying to get that back.

What I'm into:

Professionally, I live in JavaScript and TypeScript. I care about the web as a platform — not just the frameworks, but the standards and fundamentals underneath.

Outside of work, I'm learning to make games, studying Japanese and Chinese, and training to stay athletic. I read widely — theology, fiction, technical books, whatever pulls me.

I have a background in theology (MDiv) and years of teaching and mentoring. Someday I'd like that thread to come back — helping people learn how to think and build in a world where AI does more and more of the mechanical work. But that's a longer arc.

For now:

I'm just building, learning out loud, and seeing what emerges.

The past 15 years have been less about code and more about serving people. Along the way I've:

• Walked with people through personal struggles
• Helped friends get into training and fitness
• Guided career switchers breaking into tech
• Mentored software engineers in their craft
• Helped build side projects from scratch

If any of that resonates, feel free to reach out — with or without an agenda.
