Js Lim had totally no idea about programming back in 2008. He started to pick up programming when doing an assignment at Tunku Abdul Rahman college, Malaysia, using the C programming language. Then, in 2011, he entered into a company as an internship trainee. This was the first time he studied PHP. His company was using two frameworks: one was an in-house framework, which was quite messy, and the other one was CodeIgniter. At that moment, the in-house framework needed to be refactored; thus, he and his team managed to code the AdoDB ORM plugin into that and changed it to an MVC design, which took quite some time. He is very fresh and is always looking for new things to learn. He saw his supervisor using Ubuntu and Vim, and he followed that the rest of the staff was using Windows and Notepad++. He is now a Vim lover.
After his graduation, he joined a company that was into developing enterprise projects using ColdFusion. After working there for 3 months, he left due to the technologies used. He joined a company named Werebits, which was a start-up. This company was doing an in-house project, ChopInk, which is a kind of loyalty program. The technology behind this was LAMP stack-hosted on Amazon EC2, Zend Framework 1. After a few months, the company took a project, which he chose to use Zend Framework 2 on, and took some time to finish the project. Later on, the CEO decided to migrate ChopInk to another framework. He was assigned the task of choosing a better framework; after some research, he decided to use Laravel 4. Up until now, Laravel is still the best framework for him as well as to the Werebits team. At some point, he was approached by a college friend to join a company named Weavary Connection as a partner; he then got the technology over, which was the Laravel framework.
