Hello, I'm Alson Wong!

A passionate developer based in Singapore with a diverse background in game development, now transitioning into full stack development.
 
As the founder and developer of WhoCalledSG,
I combine creativity and technical expertise to build meaningful digital solutions.

✨ About Me

    With a strong foundation in game development and design, I have dedicated my career to creating engaging and innovative gaming experiences. My expertise in this field has allowed me to master various technical skills and user-centric design principles.

 

    Recently, I transitioned to tackling the problem of scam calls by developing WhoCalledSG. This project leverages my background in gaming to create a user-friendly platform that helps people to identify and avoid such calls.

 

    When I'm not writing code or building stuff, you can find me doodling on my iPad or exploring new virtual worlds in games.
