From co-founder to platform engineer.
I'm Henry Chea, a frontend and platform engineer based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Remote-first since 2020, I build products, developer tooling, and multi-language SDKs across JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, Rust, and AWS. Now I teach what shipping to real users actually demands, not what textbooks prescribe.
