About the person.

Peace be upon you, fellow digital traveller.

My name is J. Shamsul. If we’ve crossed paths online, you might know me as Jibone. If we haven’t — I’ve prepared a Connect page that lists the platforms where I’m active. I’d love to connect with fellow cyberspace wanderers.

A husband to a lovely wife, a father to an adorable daughter, and a son to caring parents. A seeker of beneficial knowledge, a builder of software, and a writer aspiring to be. I consider myself atechnologist-philosopher, a digital storyteller, and a cyberspace wanderer.

By trade, I’m a seasoned full-stack software engineer with over 15 years of experience. By choice, I’m expanding my craft as atechnologist who tells stories.

When I’m not writing code, I write prose — sometimes short, sometimes long — ranging from personal anecdotes in tech to philosophical musings on how technology shapes culture, society, and the individual self.

This website is my little outpost in the vastness of cyberspace — a home to gather all my writing in one place. Most of it was first published in my newsletter, Code & Codex.
