2 years ago, I started a blog that was developed using Hugo (there was only 1 post back then).

Then I thought Hugo is such a hassle since designing the theme was difficult, then I decided to switch to WordPress since there are so many themes available. I thought having WP’s simplicity will make me more motivated to blog. Lo and behold, 2 years I haven’t written any blog post.

Hi there!

If it is not obvious by now, I am a Software Engineer (SWE) with almost 6 years of experiences in this field. Not only I wrote this post just to brag about my experience, I would also like to share with you what kind of skills you strive to work for if you are an aspire software developer and still studying in your university, or you are planning to transition your career as an SWE.
