I'm Desmond Lua, a dream boy who enjoys programming and travelling.
Since learning to code in 1998, I've love the craft which allows me to bring many ideas to life. When I'm not occupied with endless to-do, I go on travels and hikes, or pretend to educate myself on investing. I find joy and satisfaction in creating/building/making things.
Life is optimal when you do the things you enjoy, and you realize you don't need a lot of things.
