About Me
I am Andy Tan Boon Ping, currently pursuing a degree of Bachelor of Science With Honours (Business Mathematics) [B.Sc. (Hons) Business Mathematics] in Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). I have learned web development skills alongside with my primary study in university. Brief summary of my past experiences as below:

Newster
After Shuffler, I get my hands on some other projects by using other tech/languages as well, for example Newster, which built with Go & Vuejs. Newster is a simple app that catches fresh hot tech news from various websites such as CSDN, CSS-Tricks, dev-to and so on.March 2019 — present
Shuffler
In the same year, I started my hobby project, Shuffler, requested by my friend. Shuffler is an app that randomizes user existing YouTube playlist and play it. It starts simple with React, then refactored into TypeScript in July 2019 for better maintainability.January 2019 — March 2019
