👋 Hi, this is Gan Eng Chin. I mostly use “ecgan” as my online user names, hence the site URL, ecgan.com. In real life, people usually just call me Gan.
I am a software engineer. I love building delightful user experience, and I am most familiar with React, TypeScript, and JavaScript. Currently I am working on my own and not with any companies. If you are interested to hire me, you can reach out to me on LinkedIn.
Before that, I used to work with WooCommerce, part of Automattic. We call ourselves Automatticians. I was in Automattic from September 2020 to April 2025. This is also the time where I am involved with WordPress professionally the most. I was a core contributor, speaker and volunteer – see my WordPress.org profile for more info.
If you look into the timestamp of my activities in GitHub (e.g. issues, pull requests, comments, code commits etc), you may think that I’m based in the Central European Time.
The truth is: I am physically located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 🇲🇾. I am a night person and I work at night, and I have been working remotely with global team mates for the past decade.
This site is to share my experience and knowledge with the world. For more info, read my first post Hello World.
