ME · THE PART NOT ON MY CV

It's Me, Game.

I grew up in Phichit, love the night sky, and am passionate about technology and computer science.

Phattharaphum Kingchai — a country boy who loves reading, watching movies, and playing badminton.

Roots & Growth

Phichit, Thailand

Born and raised in rural Phichit. Living with my grandparents taught me to appreciate simplicity and nature — and it’s a place perfectly suited for nighttime stargazing.

02 — Look Up

Calmly watching the skies, mindfully crafting software

On clear nights in Phichit I always look up. My favourite constellations are Ursa Major and Sagittarius. The Moon, Saturn and Jupiter in these photos were shot by me with a phone through my telescope. The patience to wait for the sky, to keep the rig steady and to measure what you can is the same habit I bring to writing software.
