The longer story.
I tend to build things at the intersection of hardware, cloud, and product.
I'm an Information Systems student at Singapore Management University, on a dual track of Product Development and Business Analytics. Before SMU, I did a Diploma in Computer Engineering at Singapore Polytechnic, which is where most of my hardware and networking foundations came from.
The story so far has been a mix of architected production IoT systems (wastewater monitoring at 360 sites), founding things from scratch (Osiris smart vertical farm, funded by an SMU BIG grant), and bootstrapping commercial operations (5 years of Nepseeds plant e-commerce). Right now I'm at Vietnam Technology & Telecommunication (VNTT) in Ho Chi Minh City learning what production-scale industrial IoT actually feels like, working on systems built on EdgeX Foundry.
I'm a heavy daily user of Claude Code, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Kimi and treat the ability to direct them well as a real competitive skill. Most of my recent project output uses AI-assisted code generation; my contribution sits in framing the problem, making the architecture decisions, and validating the output.
Outside of school and work, I hold a motorcycle and car license and I'm pursuing a Boat License (PPCDL). I follow Theo (t3.gg), Mo Bitar, and Fireship for engineering and dev-tooling content, and I invest consistently in the US stock market. I used to play a lot of Counter Strike Global Offensive, Dota 2, and Minecraft, but not much time for that these days.
