Singapore, SG, Singapore
I’m a 21 year old software engineer who’s a React Native and Vue.JS engineer by day but a native iOS developer by night. Crafting impactful software that serves my community and people around me is my passion. I thrive on staying updated with the latest design trends and development frameworks across all platforms. While my heart lies in native app design and development, I also excel in cross-platform app and web development, which keeps the bills paid. Apple WWDC23 & 24 ✅
Scholarships
Don has been awarded a WWDC scholarship two times. Here are the submissions that got him there.
In 2022, applicants were tasked with creating a Swift Playgrounds app project on the topic of your choice to showcase their passion for coding. Here’s how Don describes his winning submission.
The project I submitted was a mini proof-of-concept and fun app that could explore early 20C. abstract art by making use of SwiftUI entirely. Shape views are drawn out recursively through custom recursive functions to create a unique look. The project attempts to explore an early concept of Supremus, an art movement that dedicated itself to simple shapes. With the help of recursion, I threw in the idea of programming concepts into the project as well.
