Hi 👋, I am Frinze! I am a nerd with a passion for productivity 📈!

💻 Who I am?

I am an engineer specialised in automating for developers! Updated with the latest tech to give you 🔥 blazingly fast coding setup!

I am also an educator 🧑‍🏫 - I've always been involved as part of the @codersforcauses, an organization that provides practical experience for students by coding for charities 🎗️! Here's an example of a youtube video teaching Software Engineering Practices for the volunteer coders.

📖 My Story

I first started in 2019 at UWA studying coding. At the time, I was very unsure whether this is something I wanted to do for my career especially the fact that's its quite hard and full of errors 😭, but I persisted because university is expensive 🔥💸 and I didn't really have a safety net ☢️ as someone recently migrating to Australia 🇦🇺.

Lots of that hard work from coding projects and learning every single day. Alongside that in 2020, I started my job hunting journey where on a weekly basis, I am getting rejected for jobs 😭 - where I felt that what I was doing was not enough. I kept coding websites and demos to show to myself that I can create cool ✨ things which boosts my confidence! To my luck in mid-2020 (brought by the universe and the people around me), I was able to get an opportunity, and after that each opportunity just keeps coming to me 🪄!

Today, while in a more stable journey 🚗, I would like to share my knowledge and what I learned in the past to help the next-generation (the same way the previous generation helped me!).

💖 How to Support me

If I've ever helped you in the past, or a fan of my work! Surely you can sponsor me 😉!

Github Sponsor
HashNodes

Some of my future plans and contents are 🗺️:

Education blog about Dev Productivity (Toolings and Setups) 🛠️
Finance blog 💰 (Best ways to earn money, spend less money, evade reduce tax)
Travel blog ✈️ (Best Places to travel, thinks to keep in minds)
... and many more!!

I'll aim to get you 1 high quality content once every 1-2 months!
