Hi, I'm Donnie!

Principal Developer Advocate at AWS in Singapore. I build with code, brew coffee, and ride café racers.

I’ve spent 22+ years building software across Southeast Asia, Middle East, and Europe — from startups to enterprise. I share practical solutions in modern development — no fluff, just what works. This site is my digital space, my playgrounds, my sandbox for sharing knowledge and experiments — think of it as my working notes made public. So, welcome.

All content on this site represents my personal views and opinions.
