Hi, I'm Kean Yap.
I build clean, reliable web experiences with a focus on practical UX, thoughtful engineering, and fast delivery. My work spans full-stack development, ServiceNow platform work, and lightweight frontends that stay easy to maintain.

About
A focused builder who keeps the stack lean
I like frontends that feel intentional, engineering that is easy to reason about, and projects that get to the point without losing polish.
I am self-motivated and eager to learn whatever is required to get the job done. I keep up with modern tools, but I prefer choices that improve clarity over complexity.
In practice, that means clean UI, accessible markup, fast builds, and a codebase that can stay lean as the site grows.
Current priorities
- Accessible, semantic interfaces with strong contrast.
- Fast static delivery with minimal client-side JavaScript.
- Reliable product work that does not overcomplicate the stack, including ServiceNow workflows and customizations.
Projects
A small collection of practical builds
These are the projects I still point people to: tools, coursework, and product work that solved a real problem and stayed focused.
