I'm James — a software engineer at Agoda who codes when I'm on fire, and games when I’m not.

I enjoy building backend systems that are clean, resilient, and kind of overengineered (in a good way). I tend to dive deep into distributed systems, infrastructure, and low-level optimization — but only when the spark hits.

When that fire’s out, you’ll find me gaming — usually FPS, sometimes strategy.

That’s the loop:
Code hard when inspired. Game harder when not.
