I'm a third-year student studying Software Engineering at 🎓 Singapore Institute of Technology. My specialties include being a quick learner (language agnostic), problem-solving, and writing clean code, having experience across the web-stack (frontend, backend and devops). I love sharing my knowledge with others and making a positive impact - seeing others grow, learn, and succeed through the knowledge I share brings me great joy! 🌱
When not coding:
🥁 I'm into rock/metal music, and play the drums!
⚽ I support Leicester City Football Club
📱 On Reddit
🍣 Binge eating Japanese food
🎮 Playing games (diablo, lastepoch, fifa, valo, wow)
Sometimes, I write about tech stuff on my blog at gavinloo.com 😋
