⚡ Ops brain, dev hands

Hi, I'm Sean Ng

 

A decade running business operations, now building software too. I bridge the gap between how a business works and how its systems should: from budget flows to backend flows.

A Bit About Me

whoami

I spent nearly ten years managing business operations (budgets, procurement, assets, and the org-wide chaos in between) before retraining as a fullstack developer. Now I do both at once: my day job mixes office administration with hands-on IT on one of Vietnam's biggest construction projects.

The interest actually goes back further, to university. My degree had nothing to do with code, but somewhere along the way I found a real passion for programming and technology in general, and kept teaching myself alongside my coursework. That self-taught habit never really stopped; it just eventually became the second half of my career.

That combination is my thing. I can read a balance sheet and a stack trace, translate what the business actually needs into software that gets used, and then host it myself. Off the clock I'm deep in Android modding, self-hosted infrastructure, and whatever rabbit hole the internet offers next.

Everything you're reading is served from a VPS I run myself: Nginx, PostgreSQL, DNS, TLS, firewall, backups, the lot. Self-hosting isn't just a hobby; it's how I stress-test what I know about infrastructure.

Android Modding
warranty status: voided with pride

Years of rooting devices, flashing custom ROMs, and building Magisk-tweaked setups that work exactly how I want. The habit that taught me to read logs fearlessly and un-brick anything.
