Melvin is an entrepreneur, visionary and risk-taker. Melvin has more than 10 years of experience in computer hardware, web development and online advertising. Over the years, Melvin has involved himself in a wide range of businesses but his passion always remained solely in the Computers and Technology sector. The most important lesson he learned in business (and life) is – If you put your heart and soul in doing something, nothing is impossible to you.
One of his most notable achievements is developing a very successful online publication for computer hardware news and reviews despite having no prior working experience and driven only with a strong passion for computers in his teenage years.
Melvin was diagnosed from a rare type of malignant tumor known as fibrosarcoma, a soft tissue cancer that necessitated a limb amputation when he was 17. He had a hip disarticulation on his right leg shortly after the biopsies confirmed his diagnosis. Related articles at:

The crisis made Melvin look at life from a different perspective. He stopped his online publication and spent the next few years giving back to the community, particularly at Rumah Hope, a home for the neglected and abused children. He found Christ or Christ found him, literally. He is still on a soul-searching life journey. He vowed to never let his disability get in the way of his life.
Today… Melvin is on Facebook and Twitter.
