Who Am I?
Hiyaππ½ I’m Noraini, but everyone calls me Mimmy, that’s how I roll in casual settings and even at work (ironically enough lol)
I’m currently working remotely as a Web Engineer specializing in frontend development. I hardly code as much these days, I mean I still do, but not as intensively as in my early career? I’ve been pulled into a role where I’m constantly in meetings and need to make more decisions about what’s best for web quality. When it comes to this, I’m definitely more of the “let’s think this through first” type. I love planning things out and making collaborative decisions with my team and seniors before diving in, one-sided decisions just don’t feel fun to me tbh. Through this approach, I’ve learned a thing or two from my surroundings.
What else? hmm chime in on code reviews, trying to figure out how to handle human behavior and how to response better… Oh, and my current work environment is pretty gung-ho with our agile processes too!
What truly gets me excited is being part of projects (work or personal) where the crafting process is genuinely well thought out. You know that feeling when you’re part of something so well-crafted that you’re just scared to mess it up? (idk if this correct way to express it lol) that’s when I get motivated to study harder and level up. I can’t deny this passion was heavily influenced by amazing seniors, colleagues, and even people younger than me who’ve guided me along the way and this book that basically changed my perspective, aha!
Working Experience and Touch Grass?
Over the years, I’ve delivered projects across the spectrum, from scrappy startup to established digital consultancy, and now I’m at a agtech company where I get to do meaningful frontend work while leading sprint deliverables and driving codebase modernization efforts. It’s been quite the journey, I still have way a long way to go!!!
When I’m not coding or working (ππ½π±π³πππ½), I’m all about those side quests like random traveling (when my budget allows) if money’s tight, I usually go solo movie sessions, cafe hopping, or binge-watching anime, K-Drama or TV series (tight what? I have ZERO if already at this state π)
I’m also part of the volunteer for sometime, mainly to an ACG (Anime Comic Games) events as a crew focusing on stage tasks. Though I occasionally help out with web development projects too because, well, old habits die hard…. V>_<V
Dropping facts here to make it short that I think it shouldn’t be slipped in About Me:
- Born in Sabah, currently hustling in KL alone
- I have a habit of mixing sarawakian + sabahan slang lol
- Open to contributing to cool projects that spark my interest
What You’ll Find Here
This website accidentally exist because on some random night, I suddenly got the urge wanted to try deploying my own site using Hugo (my first try) with cloudflare.
Consider this my not-so-secret little corner of internet space-jam that’s intentionally hidden from Google search cuz I plan to dump stuff here (if I’m rajin productive enough to actually post) about:
Random Yapping Sessions
- Tech thoughts and whatever I’m learning at the moment
- Completely unrelated life observations (like that time a turtle tried to cross the road when I was driving aimlessly near my hometown and it became a whole moment)
Project Chronicles
- Personal projects I’m currently tinkering with
- Real projects I’ve contributed to and delivered, complete with my brutally honest messy thoughts on the whole experience (man I really do hope I follow through with this
)
Tech Hot Takes
- My thoughts on technology I hands on (no one asked and its purely for my own learning purpose)
Unsolicited Reviews
- Whatever I’m currently binge-watching/reading/obsessing over that absolutely no one asked for my opinion on lmfao
I’ll try my best to categorize everything properlyβ¦ and I’m genuinely praying to whatever higher power exists that I’ll have the strength to post whenever the mood strikes (i just know it won’t be consistent cuz of ADHD brain goes brrrr T__T) and hopefully not completely forget this entire website exists lolol
Fair Warning
My posts will likely be rojak Manglish (mixed Bahasa Melayu + English), there is a post of full english and purrfect grammar? that is me most likely begging AI to help me sound coherent lol
I guaranteed have the post with not-so-proper BM but purely authentic Sabahan slang, maaaybe the occasional ζ₯ζ¬θͺ or νκ΅μΈ phrases because why not bro I’m a gawd damn weeb + whatever-a-koreaboo-even-is
I’m not really expecting anyone to read this except future me anyway, but I’m not sure why I’m even writing this disclaimer? Maybe because the internet feels too public these days, and this site is just one click away from leading anyone here anyway haha
Mini disclaimer: If you happen to be a potential future employer who somehow made it this far into my digital chaos…… hi there! Please do check out my archives for actual projects I’ve worked on, or better yet, my CV for the professional stuff. This section is just… well, um ya chaos.
Well, you’ve been warned π«΅π½π€
