An introduction to youread.me

Welcome!

Introduction

Hello and welcome to youread.me‽ I’m your host, Nicholas Chua, and I’m excited to have you here. At the time of writing, I’m a third-year Information Security Undergraduate student at Singapore Institute of Technology, and I have worked for 3 years full-time in the industry as a System Administrator. I’m thrilled to share my journey, insights, and projects with you through this blog.

Why “youread.me”?

The name “youread.me” is a play on the word “readme,” which is a file that contains information about other files in a directory or archive. I chose this name because I want this blog to be a place where you can read about my thoughts, experiences, and projects. The interrobang (‽) at the end recognizes the two distinct ways “read” can be pronounced, creating both a question that invites one to read, and an exclamation that acknowledges the reader’s choice to do so.

Purpose

As both a student and a professional in the tech industry, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects and learn from some amazing people. I started this blog as a way to document my journey and hope to pay my learning forward to my readers. No matter where you are in your journey, I hope my views can broaden your perspective and inspire you to continue learning.

Content Plan

Here’s what you can expect from my blog:

  • Personal Projects: Write-ups on my personal projects and experiments.
  • Personal Experiences: Stories and lessons from my own career and educational journey.
  • Tech Reviews: Reviews of tech products and services that have particularly changed my life.
  • Industry Insights: My thoughts on the latest trends and news in the tech industry.
  • Life Updates: Although I am a rather private person, I may rarely share some personal updates and goals I set for myself.

Engagement

I’m always open to connecting with my readers, so feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn or GitHub. I’m also open to feedback, so if you have any suggestions or comments, please let me know.

Conclusion

Thank you for visiting my blog! Stay tuned for more posts, and I look forward to embarking on this journey with you.
