About Me

👋 Hey! I'm Benjamin—student by day, chess strategist by night, and esports enthusiast 24/7.

I live for the thrill of solving complex problems, whether it's debugging code at 2 AM, stressing out over chess openings or coordinating massive gaming tournaments. Currently juggling 15+ clubs, chasing internships and leveling up my software engineering skills—because why choose one passion when you can master them all? 🚀

My Passions

💻

Coding

Building practical solutions through software engineering. I'm constantly learning new technologies and frameworks to develop transferable skills for future endeavors.

♟️

Chess

FIDE rated player and APU Chess Club Secretary. Chess has taught me strategic thinking, pattern recognition and the patience needed for complex problem-solving.

🎮

Esports

Assistant Head of Operations & HR Head at APU Esports Club. Leading tournaments and managing teams has developed my organizational and leadership capabilities.

🎯

Leadership

Active in 15+ university clubs with leadership roles in key organizations. I thrive in environments that challenge me to grow and collaborate with diverse teams.

My Journey

🎓 Continuous Learner

📚 Currently crushing my Diploma in Software Engineering at APU—going at my own pace because quality > speed.

🎯 My philosophy? Growth happens outside your comfort zone. That's why I'm always diving into new events, challenges and opportunities that make me think 'wait, can I actually do this?' (Spoiler: Yes.)

💡 From high school Chess & Computer Club President to juggling 15+ university clubs with leadership roles—I'm all about learning by doing. Oh, and I'm hunting for internships starting March 2027. Companies, hit me up! 🚀

🤝 Community Builder

🎮 Leading the charge as Assistant Head of Ops & HR Head at APU Esports Club + Secretary at Chess Club. Basically, I make sure the tournaments run smooth and everyone's having a blast.

🌐 My club roster looks like a Netflix subscription list—Blockchain, Frisbee, GDSC, APU AIC, you name it. Each one teaches me something new about teamwork, tech or just how to talk to different types of people.

✨ From coordinating Merdeka Fiesta to managing club ops, I've learned that great communities don't just happen—they're built by people who care. I'm here for the challenge, the growth and the chance to make things happen! 💪
