About

I am a Software developer honing my technical skills to build and solve problems. With my past experience in support role, I developed a great passion to break into developing software. My interests are learning and becoming a good software engineer. I enjoy being involved in design and architectural discussions of developing a product. I also enjoy sharing what I’ve learned through this blog.

There are currently two themes built on Poole:

I used Lanyon theme for my blog. You can view the folder structure on poole github repo and download the template to get started. The folder structure is very minimal so easy to customize the _config file. All the blog posts are in markdown format (a great tutorial for Markdown, which is a very easy way to write content in web.
