My name is Yong Shan Xian, Sam from Singapore. Aged 15, I started Software Programming when i was 11 years old. I experimented with Turbo Pascal at that time, and moved on to Visual Basic in year 2004. Next, I went on to other programming languages which include PHP, Robolab, Javascript and more.
I live in northern part of Singapore, Asia, but born in South of West Malaysia. Migrated when I was one years old. Studied at Fuchun Primary School from 1999 to 2004, where I was a Band Section Leader for Tuba. Going on to secondary school, i am currently studying at Woodlands Ring Secondary School. I am part of the Student Leaders Council and the Chairperson for Lego Robotics Club.
I have developed interests in IT Sciences, Robotics, Engineering and Software Development. I have also developed my potential of digital art(in the mediums mainly consisting of Photo-manipulation, wallpapers, and vector) over at deviantART, since May 2006. I also have developed an experimental photography interest over the time.
I am commonly known on the internet as Hellclanner, or simply Sam Yong. I have also several softwares published, plus a major Web-Community project -
betaPod - which is developed using PHP and based on XML databases. Many people have approached me for commissions and other jobs. Most of the time I am a freelancer and most of the time I don't really earn. But sure and firm that I am benifitting from what I learnt and experience.
You can find me active on the following major communities:
betaPod,
deviantART,
Friendster, TechRepublic. So if you have common interests, or want to be friend with me, be sure to add me as buddies on these sites.
