My name is Oscar, age: 28, graduate of Electrical and Electronic engineering. Currently residing in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

As a beginner, I contributed to a number of articles of my hometown, Tawau, the state of Sabah, Malaysia. Usually I did some in-depth studies of articles from the internet before I start off editing.

Most of the time, I improve the contents by replacing better words and arranging the structure. I also improve the visual aspect of pages with better interfaces such as tables, image galleries & charts and so on. I also do listing for articles under suitable categories.
