About
I talk to computers, cats, and even humans.
A software engineer with a creative writing background - I take great pride in my codeโs readability! You can find me on LinkedIn.
Here is my literary bio (written in poetic third person):
Stephanie Ye is a writer from Singapore. Her work has been staged as a dance performance in New York City, translated into German for an art exhibition in Berlin, and used as an O-level examination text in Singapore. Her short story chapbook, The Billion Shop, was published in 2012, and she edited the fiction anthology From The Belly Of The Cat in 2013. A graduate of the MA in Creative Writing programme at the University of East Anglia, she is also an honorary fellow in writing of the University of Iowa. She lives in London and, when not writing for humans, talks to computers in her day job as a software developer.
My cat
๐ธ Maestro Moriarty Mario the Mucklebug (Mori) was born in 2011 and has lived in Singapore, London and Paris. He has also holidayed in the south of France.
