About
A student of the craft.
I’m in my final year at the National University of Singapore, reading Computer Science with honours, and currently on exchange at UT Austin — picking up cloud computing and NLP along the way.
Before that, I spent a year as a software engineering intern at GovTech Singapore, building real-time dashboards and async pipelines on AWS, and I now TA CS2103/T — NUS’s software engineering course — walking twenty students through the messy, satisfying work of shipping good software.
I care about clean abstractions, careful reviews, and finishing things. When I’m not in class, I’m usually tinkering with my homelab, reading distributed systems papers, or running too many side projects in parallel.
