About TeochewThunder

The author of this website is an aging software developer who still loves his work enough to do it in his spare time. This site is the proof of that. When he's not tinkering with code, he's enjoying a steaming hot black coffee, doing laps in a public pool or haunting the local library. Yes, he really is that boring. Go read his code instead of this bio.

This website houses tech content, including but not limited to the following:
  • Code samples and demos.
  • Technical observations.
  • Musings on the latest developments in web technology.
  • My personal profile.
  • Check out SPERMINATOR, a browser-based game. COMPLETE!
