About me

Hi, I’m Lay Bin, a Software Engineering diploma student at Asia Pacific University. I am originally from Penang and currently studying in Kuala Lumpur.

I enjoy turning ideas into software that people can actually use, whether it is a web platform, a desktop system, or a small tool created to solve a problem I have encountered.

Most of my experience comes from leading university projects and working on personal projects outside the classroom. I enjoy planning how a system should work and seeing the project develop from an initial concept into a complete solution. I am always learning, experimenting, and looking for better ways to build things.

Let's make something useful.

I'm interested in thoughtful software, practical collaborations and conversations with people who care about how things work.
