Hello! Welcome to my humble Tech Journal! I took a career detour before ending up as a Software Engineer. I first learn to code in python in 2013 and was amazed by the limitless ideas that can be achieved by programming. At the same time I was curious about building design and construction, so I took up a university scholarship to pursue architecture and spent my time exploring parametric building design with python.

After graduating from Singapore University of Technology & Design (SUTD) in 2017, I worked 3 years as Architectural Designer, 1.5 year as a Project Manager before I made a career pivot to Full Stack software development. I never looked back since!

I started my software development career as a Full Stack developer in a AI Start-Up Ailytics for 6 months before accepting an opportunity to join Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC for another 1.5 years, developing and maintaining an in-house Portfolio Investment Insights Application using Serverless Tech Stack and Nextjs for Frontend Web. I am currently working in DBS Bank as a Senior Application Cloud Developer under the Marketing Automation Technology Platform.

I am a AWS Serverless Community Builder since 2023 and is AWS Cloud Practioner and AWS Developer Associate Certified with working experience in the serverless tech stack using AWS services such as Lambdas, DynamoDB, Cloudformation and Redshift.

I blog on Dev.to occasionally whenever I have some solo time on weekends. Feel free to contact me at kenji.gohyiqian@gmail.com or send me a text on LinkedIn. 😉
