Mykal-Steele/README.md

Yo! I'm OakarOo πŸ‘‹ (but you can call me Mykal if that's easier to remember)

Full-stack developer in Bangkok who occasionally remembers to hydrate while coding

Current Status:
βœ”οΈ Coding at 2am because "just one more feature"
βœ”οΈ Forgot to push latest changes yesterday (oops)

πŸ”₯ What's Cooking?

Feelio (MERN Stack) - wakatime

"The project that made me question my life choices"
🍳 Frontend: React + Redux (still fighting with useSelector hooks)
πŸ₯˜ Backend: Express + MongoDB (Mongoose validations: 1, Me: 0) 🌢️ Real Pain Points:

  • WebSocket connections dropping when my coffee shop WiFi acts up
  • React Quill editor sometimes eats my formatted text (hungry boi)
  • That one Redux action that works... but only on Tuesdays?

Latest Win: Got file uploads working... as long as you don't try PDFs yet.
Latest Lose: File uploads stopped working...

Unity Chess Clock β™ŸοΈ

Because normal chess clocks are for normies

  • Accidentally made timer go backwards once (feature, not bug!)
  • UI looks like Windows 95 (retro vibes ✨)
  • Secret cheat code: press Alt+Q three times (don't tell anyone)

Java University Stuff πŸ“š

When they say "OOP is fun" but you're just making yet another BankAccount class

  • Professor keeps saying "encapsulation" like it's not just fancy getters/setters
  • Got 73/100 on last assignment because "magic numbers" (they weren't even that magical)

πŸ› οΈ Tech Toolbox (Mostly Works... Sometimes)

Backend Stuff

  • Node.js/Express (router.get('/', (req, res) => { /* pray */ }))
  • MongoDB (I promise I'll learn proper indexing... someday)
  • WebSockets (Because polling is for the patient)
  • Testing? Yeah I do console.log('it works') sometimes

Frontend Circus

  • React (Hooks! Context! ...Why is state undefined??)
  • Tailwind CSS (div className="flex flex-col justify-... wait how does this work again")
  • Framer Motion (makes things wiggle - 10/10 would animate again)

Game Dev Dabbles

  • Unity (Where 50% of time is scripting, 50% fixing lighting)
  • Proud creator of "RotatingCube2023" (v2 coming never)

πŸ“– Learning... Slowly

βœ… MongoDB: Trying to remember $push vs $addToSet
βœ… Express Middleware: That thing that runs before... something?
βœ… React: "Why isn't my useEffect dependency array working?!"
βœ… TypeScript types that somehow make everything any eventually

πŸ‘‹ Hit Me Up!

Want to:

  • Collab on weird project?
  • Laugh at my code?
  • Explain how Webpack works?

πŸ“§ Email: [email protected] (yes I know there's a typo in the handle, don't @ me)

P.S. If you email me about blockchain/AI NFTs I will reply with cat memes



"Look mom I coded for 12 hours straight!" - My keyboard probably

Not me obsessing over the shades of green on GitHub.

P.P.S. If you read this far, you owe me a coffee β˜• (I accept virtual espresso shots)
