I'd rather build a working
product than a perfect pixel.

Hey, I'm Danyu. I'm into the unglamorous parts of software. The bits nobody really tweets about, but everyone notices when they break at 2am.
These days I'm mostly in React and TypeScript, building things on top of AWS Lambda for an internal travel platform. Before that it was microservices in Docker, then Flutter mobile apps, and a while back some Django work in Nepal.

A handful of jobs across two countries.
Same brain throughout.
Started out writing Django for a small studio in Kathmandu. Now I'm pushing Lambdas at a travel group in Brisbane. The stack keeps changing. The way I work, mostly hasn't.

The tools I reach for,
in roughly that order.
Frameworks change every six months. Habits stick around. These are the ones I actually use.
Selected work.
New things on the bench.
Side projects I'm tinkering with on the weekends. Some AI stuff, some real-time things, plus the unsexy plumbing nobody really wants to write.
