Jason Hiew — backend engineer in Malaysia
- loves to explore cool new tech as much as games.
- builds stuff in his free time.
- would rather spend hours writing a script to save a few seconds. 🤦♂️
Tech stack:
- Backend: .NET, NestJS, Ruby on Rails
- Frontend: React Native, ReactJS, NextJS, Vue / Nuxt
- Deployment: Fly.io, Dokku, AWS EC2
Also spends a lot of time messing around with Hermes, a self-hosted always-on
agent — less for the output than for watching how it thinks, when it reaches
for a tool, how it splits work between subagents, and what happens when that
swarm has to cooperate.
