Passionate about tech. Striving to make this world a better place.

Hello there! I'm a Business Analytics Major with a Artificial Intelligence Minor at Singapore University of Technology and Design(SUTD).

Throughout the my education journey, I had the privilege of leading various groups such as the Vice-Head Prefect in Secondary School, Vice-Captain of Cross Country Club in Junior College and the Director of Public Relations for the Student Government for University. The emphasis on project works in university allowed me to developed my interpersonal and communications skills, where I was honored to receive a letter of recommendation from my project industry partner for the execution of the project. Therefore, these opportunities has allowed me to hone my Leadership and Communications skills.

On top of the academic rigor in school, I believe that the university journey is what you make out of it. Therefore, actively putting yourself out and finding activities and like-minded individuals, allowing me grow in areas beyond the academic education. A particularly fond memory was taking part in the DBS Design Challenge 2018, where I signed up as an individual, hoping to meet new people who shared the same passion for mobile payments. I was lucky enough to find such a group and I had truly a fufilling journey through great team synergy which boosted my morale to create the best product. We eventually managed to claim the Championship for this challenge.

I also take experiences in my life as a learning process beyond the classrooms where I can learn many values and skills while navigating through my daily interactions with people and events. I culminate this lifelong learning in my daily reflection journal, which is a long term project I started, reflecting on the insights I could learn on a daily basis where I can look back on and reflect.

I channel for passion for Mathematics in the form of personal projects that I've undertaken. I've recently started to post this projects on my Github Account Some notable mathematics project that I created was the Statistical Analysis of the Titanic Accident and Path Finding Visualisation using A* Algorithm.
