Currently @ ProppyApp · Senior Engineer

Hi, I'mZhen Yie.

I build scalable systems and ship software that lasts. From mobile frameworks to multi-region APIs — I care deeply about maintainability, performance, security, and the craft of engineering.

About

A bit about me

It started with Minecraft. I was 14, modding servers, and wanted effects my server didn't have — so I built them. That plugin, GadgetsMenu, is still running on thousands of servers today.

Professionally, I'm a Senior Software Engineer at ProppyApp, where I lead the development of a white-label UI framework, design multi-region APIs, and help align engineering with product goals.

I care about code that's maintainable, systems that scale, and interfaces that feel effortless. I graduated from APU with a CGPA of 3.8 in Computer Software Engineering.
