B00 About

I build the product and the system behind it.

I'm King Aguirre, a software engineer and creative developer. I build with React and TypeScript, I run the VibeBox studio, and I care as much about how an interface moves as about the data model holding it up.

B03 How I work

Five habits, sketch to final.

Each one shows up in the repositories behind this site, not just on this page.

Write it down first
Every repository carries its plan, its design system and a guide for whoever works next, human or agent.
Keep logic out of the UI
Money, carts, tickets and payouts live in plain TypeScript packages with their own tests.
Review every change
Typechecks, unit tests and browser journeys gate the work, and I read every diff before it goes in.
Let agents type, keep the decisions
Coding agents implement in small slices; releases and risky changes wait for a person.
Make it move, and make it stop
Motion that explains something, pauses off screen, and becomes a designed still when you ask for less.

B04 Two desks

A bank by day, a studio of my own.

The same habits on both: typed contracts, reusable pieces, tests on the journeys that matter, and a person deciding what ships.

Day job · Dec 2019 to present

Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia

Senior React.js Front-End Web Developer

Designed a micro-frontend monorepo proof of concept using Vite and Module Federation, so independently developed modules ship inside one cohesive application, each with its own standalone dev, build and test workflow.
Implemented typed, schema-driven contracts with Zod for cross-module communication and shared state.
Standardised UI delivery on the internal React component library, from primitives to forms, panels, tabs, accordions, tables, modals and a Form Renderer.
