Izhan Danish

Readme

I'm Danish: a self-taught developer who builds with precision, breaks with intent, and occasionally forgets to blink when things finally compile. 7+ years in, every version of me still ships with new skills and a few new bugs.

• I believe great tech shouldn't just perform. Except it really should.
• Code is maths. Animation is emotion. Together, they're a rhythm.
• Every bug fixed adds +1 Patience, -10 Sanity.
• Design crafts the vision, dev makes it breathe.
• If it works the first time, I definitely did something wrong.

V1 Newbie

Blame Tap Titans 2. The mobile game exported a 50-player clan's raid data as CSVs, and I couldn't leave them alone. I wrote algorithms in Google Sheets to analyse player stats. That grew into a Node.js Discord bot that automated insights and events, then a full-stack platform that visualised raid analytics and managed clan data in real time. Somewhere in there, curiosity turned into a passion for engineering. Internships came next, and I kept improving the clan's tools anyway.

V2 Adventurer

Then I joined Hei by TOPPAN NEXT, where magic meets logic. As a Creative Frontend Developer, I built animation-heavy sites and apps across the group, and shipped my first solo project for ByteDance. The trust started small, but I learned fast, without AI tools to lean on, and soon I was running projects and taking them live myself. A promotion to Technologist took me past the browser. I owned whole codebases, modernised our boilerplate and started advising clients. I set up CI/CD, and the servers on cPanel, Kinsta and AWS became my problem too.

V3 Veteran

A second promotion made me Lead Technologist, and now every project comes through me first. I prototype early to catch issues, lead the technical talks with clients and help cost the work, usually across several projects at once. I built our deployment platform, one secure place to ship any project, and 10+ projects run through it. Interns? I hire and lead them, four so far. When the team's stuck, I point them to a better way, and when I say something's possible, they take my word over the internet's.

V4 ???

The next version is AI, and it's well underway. I work on internal and public-facing AI chatbots for the TOPPAN NEXT Group. My streaming, generative UI turns their answers into cards, charts and stats, and I write their system prompts and guardrails. I also help shape the RAG knowledge base, so answers stay current and accurate without slowing down. I got my team coding with AI, and we're quicker for it. V4 ships when I'm building AI products end to end.
