About Me

Just another software engineer that build wacky solutions to problems that don't exist

I am a software engineer based in Singapore with a passion for building applications that I find interesting. With a strong foundation to talking to myself with ChatGPT, I enjoy creating efficient, scalable, and user-friendly solutions.

My journey in tech began with a curiosity to understand how things work, which led me to pursue a degree in Information Systems in Singapore Management University. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've had been forced to work on diverse projects that have shaped my skills and approach to software development.

When I'm not coding, you can find me sleeping on my bed (Just joking to any hiring managers reading this), contributing to fun self-projects, or mentoring aspiring developers. I believe in continuous learning and staying updated with the latest industry trends.
