Senior Software Engineer
About MeHi, I'm Julius — a Senior Software Engineer with over 9 years of experience building, improving and maintaining software applications.
I enjoy turning ideas and complex problems into practical software solutions. My experience is mainly focused on backend development, PHP, MySQL, database management, API integrations and cloud-based applications.
Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work on different types of projects, from developing web applications and integrating third-party services to improving system performance and automating repetitive processes.
I'm naturally curious about how things work and enjoy exploring better ways to solve technical challenges. While PHP is my primary programming language, I'm always open to learning new technologies and expanding my skill set.
Outside of work, I enjoy sports, singing and spending time learning something new. I also maintain a technical knowledge-sharing site where I document useful things I've picked up along the way.
I'm always happy to connect with fellow developers, exchange ideas and explore opportunities to build something meaningful together.
My approach: Stay curious, keep learning and always look for ways to make things better.
My Engineering Notes & Knowledge Base
I believe that learning doesn't stop when a project is completed. Over the years, I've picked up many useful techniques, solutions and lessons while working on different software projects.I started info.juliusgoh.life as a personal knowledge base to document things I've learned, technical challenges I've encountered and solutions that I may find useful again in the future.
You'll find notes and practical examples covering PHP, MySQL, MSSQL, database management, troubleshooting, programming techniques and other areas of software development.
Some articles are quick references, while others document solutions to problems I've encountered along the way.
I maintain this space as a reminder to keep learning, share knowledge and make useful information easier to find.
Explore my technical notes and learnings.
