This page might look messy and chronological. But, tech is changing so fast and things are getting better and newer and faster and cooler, and my job is to update all these to businesses/companies and do my best to implement the best and latest of the current-tech to them. So, please look at the content, rather than the design of this page. Also, for even more latest tech stuff and how your business can benefit from it, like my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/getchacom

Feeling Umbrage?

Are you taking umbrage that your programmer has ran away / became uncontactable / cannot do the small change that you asked for? I receive such calls every week talking about their programmers/developers.
I'm here for the long-run, since 1995. Do run your project idea through me for a fair evaluation.
PS: I had to take my own umbrage shot, sorry.

EDG Grant

For companies looking for grant for development of custom digital solutions for your operational workflow, EDG Grant is the one you should be applying for. This is what my customers apply for too. Just sharing.

Web App or Mobile App

Just sharing an observation: seems like clients are more interested in web apps than mobile apps nowadays. I wonder if the fad of mobile apps are passing. Either ways, I started off as a web developer doing web apps and then moved on to being a mobile app developer doing mobile apps. So, I can do both. In fact, a comprehensive set of system should have both.

Back Again

Was kept busy by work that I had to neglect my lovely site! I'm back here for a jiffy, just to freshen up my site again. What's new? Well, tech is just getting cool and cooler. So much to learn, so much to improve, so much to do for my clients.
So that they can start using cooler-looking and better-functional systems, than the ones that remind them of past millenium (I'm not joking! I'm still seeing such systems-in-operation, used by staff-in-frustration). Sigh.
So, just to re-iterate my personal and professional aim. Cooler-looks, Better-functions. That's the type of systems the world should have.

Act now to digitalise, or Singapore risks losing competitive edge: Chan Chun Sing

Now is the time to re-engineer processes, build a new economy, and transform to create the right opportunities for businesses and people, said Mr Chan, who was speaking at the opening of the Future Economy Conference and Exhibition.

App Developer for Startups

Singapore government's Startup SG Founder programme is now offering up to $50,000 for your startup ideas. Most of my clients are startups. They hire me to develop their web apps and mobile apps.
If you have a great idea that will be good for Singapore or the world at large, then make use of the Government grant. Make use of my service. Make this world a better place. For you, and for me.

My website is messy

One caller called me and commented that my website is messy. She insinuated that if I can't get my own website right, how can I get it good for others?
I'm a web developer. It's no big deal to get a "professional" template to make mine "professional" looking as well. I have done it for dozens of my clients. But currently, just focussing on doing work for others and busy enough with that.
Just to address that minor point.

Off-the-shelf Software are not 100% ideal

One top reason for people hiring me is: Ready-made, off-the-shelf software are not 100% ideal. I won't say it's a bad idea, but if your business needs don't fit that ready-made software, then it's just a white elephant in your inventory. If you need a software that really fits your operational flow needs, like a glove, making your business and operations flow become more productive, then custom development of software is the only way to go.
And custom software development is what I do.

Coding is taking over the world

""If you're a programmer, a UX (user experience) designer or an expert in Python, artificial intelligence and machine learning... or better still, you create robots, you have no shortage of jobs," he said.".
Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister-in-charge of the Smart Nation Initiative

What's Trending 19th June 2020

To convert website to app is the most-requested request. Let me know if you have such a request too.
This means if you already have a website, you do not need to hire an app developer to develop an app from scratch. You can have an app in Google Play Store and Apple App Store for a fraction of the cost.

Custom Inventory Management Software

Not all businesses can use the readymade off-the-shelf Inventory Management Software. For certain special-flow businesses, only a custom inventory management software will help the business. And custom management software is what I do.

Safe Entry QR Code

Getcha Solutions has got its own safeentry QR code now, from the Singapore Government. I'm not a physical establishment, but cool, isn't it?

Start-ups can now apply to $285m fund announced in Fortitude Budget

PWAs are powerful in that they can be on the web platform, as well as Android devices, as well as iOS devices. PWA is the future of App Technologies.

A Mission Statement

“Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.” That's an objective of mine.

Progressive Web Apps (PWA)

Progressive Web Apps is the way to build apps nowadays, whether you are looking at web apps only, mobile apps only or both. And I have experience in that.

High-End Dedicated Server

Another reason why clients choose me: I use a High-End Dedicated Server, reserved ONLY for my development clients. Compared to shared hosting or VPS, if you read up, you will know that a Dedicated Server is the best option. But most people won't opt for this because it costs hundreds per month. But under my deal with clients, I give it to them at a much lower cost, as a perk of taking development with me.
And the project runs better in such a dedicated server in terms of performance, and that is important for the project, be it a mobile app or a web app.
Of course, a client is also free to take up a server package from any other company as well, if he wishes to.

I saw this somewhere

Likewise, easy apps are damn hard development. If you have recently used an app that was so effortless for you that you hardly noticed that it is even an app, take note that that much extra work was put into it to make it so effortless for you, the user.

Stop Dissing Disruptive Technology

Yet again, I had to listen to someone having bad things to say about new techs. So, it's about time I wrote down what I feel. And this is that.
https://www.getchanuggets.com/stop-dissing-disruptive-technology/.

Am I an Entrepreneur?

I used to think myself as an Entrepreneur. But now, I know what I really am. I am actually a Solopreneur! What is a Solopreneur?

Loan Qualifier App

Client currently uses an Excel file to fill in some Fund Parameters to determine which bank(s) are qualified to give the loan for their Customer. Client wants this automated as an app, both web app and mobile app. Using this, Customers will be able to check their loan qualification and which bank is relevant to them, and get this as a report, for a payment (payment gateway included).
Good business model. Doing this project now.

Custom HR Solutions

I realise there are companies that feel that the ready-made HR solutions from pre-approved vendors are not good enough for them. This is the case where a custom HR solution is applicable to be developed in a bespoke way.

Carousell Clone App

Developing a carousell clone app, based on a client's request. Coming well so far. See this screenshot (deliberately blurred, sorry).

Government Grant for SME

Now, there is a one-stop point of contact if you need help. So, get the solution from me, and the grant from our Government. Read More from Straits Times.

Urgent work for a Media Agency

Example of an Urgent Work done. Client is a media agency whose client is a big-name, which I can't mention here. It was after 10pm. Client found me via Google, called me, described the job, and how it had to be done by tomorrow end! It was a full-fledged project and will typically take 2 weeks. Well, it was an urgent call, his previous programmer had played him out. Enter the super-programmer (ahem). My night sleep was sacrificed. Worked through the night, and then the whole next day. Client was so happy. Another satisfying day, another satisfying job done. Just sharing.

New Portfolio Added

Another satisfied client: Realität Pte. Ltd. See their testimonial of my service and also what other clients have to say about my work and service HERE.

Startups looking for Developers

Are you a startup looking for developers? I have many startups as clients. So, just mentioning this here. They will call me, run their ideas through me. And I will run my inputs through them. They learn something, I learn something. It might or not become a project. But hey, human interactions do matter, especially to a deskbound programmer like me. 😂

Go Green, Go Paperless

Many have talked and talked about the environment. And many environment-saving measures are expensive. So, how about saving the environment by going paperless, and also saving money for your business operations? That seems to be the core of most of my projects. Current project is: an Event Attendance system where attendees will come to an event and show their QR code on their phone. Event staff will scan that code with his own phone. And that marks the attendance! No paper, no fuss, and everyone ends up looking cool!

Fintech App Developers

If you are looking for fintech app developers, I can do that. Currently doing an app that takes payment with QR code.

Bespoke Software Development

Based on the meeting just now, clients still don't believe that someone can actually do a software/app/system based on their EXACT needs/requirements.
Their minds seems to be fixated on a concept that the developer will always take some ready-made solution and "custom-fit" to their needs as best as they can.
I had a hard time convincing them that I do develop bespoke software development, which means yes, I can develop a system, or an app or a site or a software to your EXACT needs of your business or operational workflow.
Client was somehow convinced at the end. Phew!

Full Stack Web Developer

A client asked me to describe my "job description". So I drafted a paragraph to explain in summary:
================
1) My current job scope is to develop full stack solutions/applications for clients using the following technologies:
HTML5, Javascript, PHP, JQuery, mySQL, external APIs, Javascript Frameworks, Phonegap/Cordova and any other external technology out there to implement the best solution possible for my clients.

2) The final solutions are either/or web applications, mobile applications or desktop applications.

3) Also, I do maintenance for them for the full solution/application, including mySQL database, and also to monitor web server and site technical performance.
================
If you can't afford to hire a Full Stack Web Developer on a monthly payroll, hiring a freelancer like me is the better decision. You pay only for the project.

Custom Management System

Just met a client (sports industry) who needs a custom system for their suppliers worldwide to order the custom t-shirts from their company. And it's not some simple order form. There are just too many considerations and logic and order procedure to be taken note of, from Step 1 to Step X.
This is a case where off-the-shelf management products won't help, and only a custom management system developer (like myself) can do the job. Just saying.

App Development Misconception

Many people think that developing mobile apps is as easy and smooth and fast as using one. They are far from right. In fact, the more easier it is to use an app, the more hard/smart work the developers had to put into it.

How do I Develop your Cloud-Based Management Software, your Web Apps and Mobile Apps

Over many years, I have developed a core product called Getcha Smart Management System [GSMS]. I use this GSMS as the core with which I develop all the various types of Cloud-Based Management Software, Web Apps, Mobile Apps and Management Software as required by clients in various industries. And GSMS is not a static product but something that keeps growing stronger and better over time.

Who Contacts a Software Developer like Myself

Typically, the people who contact me are:

• Schools and Education Industry
• Startup companies with ideas to implement.
• Business owners who wants to bring their paper operations (or Excel-file operations) to cloud/online.
• Clients who wants to be part of the fast-changing technology world, and not be left behind.
• Clients who have various types of programming and IT issues, even with their existing systems.

Why Consider the Services of a Freelance Web Developer Singapore and Mobile App Developer Singapore

No Fats In The Middle
I’m the consultant, I’m the programmer. You don’t get a sweet-talking sales or marketing executive to over-promise and under-deliver. You can talk straight to me. If it CAN be done, I’ll say so, and it WILL be done. No hiding behind words.

Singapore is moving towards being a Smart Nation
A nation doesn’t become Smart just like that. It gets Smart because of the initiatives of the companies in the nation. Over the many years, I’ve played my part in making many companies do just that. To improve their workflow, however unique it may be, so that they can continue their business “smarter”, in a more productive and cost-efficient way. This is not just for big companies. It’s for anyone, right down to the solo entrepreneur.

Fast communication and fast execution
Either during initial development or subsequent changes, you don’t talk to a sales or support representative. You talk to me directly. The more you talk, the more I’ll suggest better ideas. Not fancy ideas, but technically-possible ideas. And immediately too. Not: “I’ll get back after discussing with the programmer”. This is applicable for initial development and also subsequent follow-up requests.

Ground-Up Development
This is a common complaint by clients who have been burnt by other developers, who try to use ready-made systems to cater for your unique business requirements. It will eventually be faced with limitations and unsolvable bugs. My development is ground up/ custom/bespoke, so any exact, unique business requirements can be met to a tee.

This is what I do, everyday
My daily work is managing clients like yourself, both new and existing. With their new ideas or enhancements to existing projects. You can call or email me with readily-available contact details (see page-top) and run any ideas or anything you have, in your head, through me and get a positive, fast response with good suggestions to move forward.

Cost effective for you
I work from home. The cost I quote to you will be lower than what you’ll typically get. Try asking me.

23 Years of Experience
I've been there. I've done that. Every passing year didn't pass without me becoming stronger in what I do, which results in less headaches and shocks to you during development time. I'm actually a dinosaur in tech-years. I was there during the dot-com booms times (90s), putting companies onto dotcom websites, and now I'm still here telling people about the new type of app development, like progressive web apps, and such. Technology was magic, and it is still so, and will remain so. That's why I'm still in it.

I Know your Business Problems

Your current business software is a) tying you down, b) has a lot of restrictions, c) has licensing restrictions, d) has per-user-based licensing, e) has too many features which you don't use, f) doesn't have the exact feature that will help you and your business, g) has a large learning curve, h) is not exactly improving your business!

Then, your current business software NEEDS TO BE CHANGED!

What you need is this:

• Web Developer / Mobile App Developer / Software Developer who develops ANY custom system to fit your business operational needs. No licensing restrictions, user restrictions or any such conditions.
• Don't settle for a ready-made software or system. Have it custom-developed. Why? Because it fits your exact needs (instead of being an overkill). And also there won't be a case of having so many features but not one particular feature that you need. Custom development gives you exactly what you want, no more no less.
• Also, you're not stuck with restrictive conditions like pay-per-license or pay-per-user. Further, there's almost no learning curve and no staff training needed. This developer can develop web apps or mobile apps (Android / iOS / Windows) so that you can get down to doing your management work immediately.
• Singapore is going towards the Smart Nation concept. Don't be left out. Are you still running your business operations the same old-fashioned way? Everything is "Smart" nowadays. It's time to make your work-flow Smart as well.
• And don't forget: there are various grants here in Singapore that helps companies when they want to have such automation software and systems developed.
