Biologist turned developer.

I debug interfaces the way I used to run experiments: form a hypothesis, change one variable, measure. Today that means React, Next.js and TypeScript at Unixdev Co., Ltd., with Go and Flutter when a product needs them.

From pipette to pull request

I studied Biological Sciences at Mahidol University: titrations, microscopes, lab notebooks. In 2023 I traded the bench for a keyboard through an intensive bootcamp.

The method carried over. A bug is an unexpected result; a fix is a controlled experiment. Today I build product interfaces with React, Next.js and TypeScript, and work across Go APIs and Flutter apps when the product calls for it.
