About Me

I'm Karl Benjamin R. Bughaw, though also known as Golgrax, Alias Kulay, Ben, or Ben'ji. I'm a Full-Stack Developer based in Southeast Asia with a strong focus on backend development. Over the years, I've built a career around creating systems that are efficient, scalable, and secure, with a particular passion for crafting the unseen but critical logic that keeps applications running smoothly. My favorite programming languages are Lua/Luau and Python while I am still learning in C. Lua/Luau is my language of choice for building physics math and some real-time game systems mostly in Roblox Studio, while Python gives me the flexibility to design powerful APIs, automation tools, and data pipelines. I've worked on projects ranging from multiplayer game servers and distributed architectures to e-commerce backends and automations or AI-driven applications. Each project taught me how to balance performance, security, and user experience while keeping the codebase clean and maintainable. I take pride in designing backend systems that can adapt to growth. For games, this means servers that can handle spikes in player activity without breaking immersion. For data pipelines, it's about reducing processing times while maintaining accuracy. For e-commerce platforms, it's creating reliable payment and inventory systems that hold up even under peak traffic. No matter the project, I enjoy turning complex requirements into solutions that just work. For me development is about like a problem-solving and communication. A system isn't just lines of codes, well it's part of where design, usability, and performance all come together. That's why I collaborate closely with teams to ensure every project feels cohesive by asking more feedbacks from the backend to the end-user experience. What motivates me is the mix of challenge and creativity like iss critical thinking. I enjoy tackling tough backend problems, optimizing performance, and building architectures that scale with real-world demands. At the same time, I like experimenting with new technologies and pushing what's possible that we can do in programming that is making me happy!.
