Charae Eh Sin
Hi, I’m Charae, a web developer based in Malaysia who loves experimenting and exploring cool stuff on the internet. When I’m not coding, you can usually find me at the gym, out for a run, tending my farm in Stardew Valley, or attending tech meetups (if my social energy permits).
You can also find me on Twitter, BlueSky, GitHub, and LinkedIn.

One highlight was adding version history to our content editor, like in Google Docs, letting users easily revert changes. I also optimized database performance by implementing a simple caching, which improved speed and reduced load.
