Me!

I am Laurence, an average geek simply trying to make the world a better place.

I work at BillPin, and am particularly passionate about security and distributed systems. For more information, my CV can be viewed here.

I maintain a couple of webservices that I created to solve my personal pain points, and randomly unleash the Chaos Monkey on them.

Blog

My blog is over here.

In my free time, I write about random stuff, from posts on education to entrepreneurship and finally politics. And a whole ton of other random stuff.

I won't say I'm the world's foremost expert on all of these, and what I write about is simply what I think of things.

Local Geek Scene

I help organise a couple of events in the local (Singapore) geek calendar, including the awesome (ok, that's severely biased, but I still think it's damn awesome) GeekcampSG.

I am also a member of HackerspaceSG and drop in there to chill from time to time.

I created the Singapore MongoDB User Group as well, creating a community of over 100 users in 2 months sharing their knowledge of MongoDB.

Instasyncer

Built Instasyncer in less than 24 hours with a high availability backend.

Tech Stack:

• Linux (CentOS)
• Apache
• MongoDB
• PHP (Codeigniter)

Wrote every line other than the framework (Codeigniter) code myself, and did not use any libraries at all.
