i am wan zhi kai
Hello there! π
I'm Zhi Kai, a Singapore-based frontend developer, with a strong focus on building beautiful, responsive, and user-friendly web applications. I've been programming since I was 5, and am currently a high school student at Hwa Chong Institution.
Over the years, I've developed a deep interest in frontend technologies and modern UI frameworks. I primarily work with TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS β including for this site you're viewing.
Beyond coding, I'm fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, and I'm currently learning Bahasa Indonesia!
I enjoy turning ideas into polished, performant digital experiences β and I'm always looking to learn more, build more, and grow as a developer.

Front-End, also known as UI/UX, is where the user interacts with the website.
