/about_me

Inspired by the successes of Airbnb and Uber, I aspire to build impactful products making a difference in our daily life. I am a final year Computer Science undergraduate at the National University of Singapore, specializing in Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence.I went on the NUS Overseas College program in Norway, working with a startup to develop a next gen data-driven data activation platform. Now, I am based in Singapore, using my previous knowledge to contribute to the Global CRM platform in TikTok. While I enjoy creating beautiful and thoughtful products, as well as tackling programming challenges, I also like to travel and eat. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in my work!
