About

Hi there! I'm currently a year 4 Computer Science major at the National University of Singapore (NUS). I'm looking towards having a software engineering career, with previous experiences from fields such as computer vision and infrastructure/architecture.

I also have a wide variety of interests (apart from getting lost in YouTube and Netflix), ranging from sports such as badminton, frisbee and cycling to others such as playing the guitar and reading books - some of my favourites include Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem and Rolf Dobelli's The Art of Thinking Clearly. I'm a fan of space exploration too, ever since the very day I witnessed the launch of SpaceX's falcon heavy and its twin boosters landing in 2018.

Feel free to reach out me below.
