Designing, building and tinkering on innovative projects from scratch has always been a passion of mine. When I was 17, I read Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, igniting and re-affirming my entrepreneurial journey.

At 19, I launched my first ever profitable first business fully bootstrapped, investing all my National Service savings into Upcycler Studios, a venture focused on used and upcycled garments. The business grew successfully enough to sustain a brick-and-mortar store and earned recognition from Vogue Singapore in 2025.

My passion for building ambitious projects eventually led me toward technology. I read Computer Science at NUS, and I'm now on NUS Overseas Colleges in Silicon Valley, studying Management Science & Engineering at Stanford. On the competitive side, I've won hackathons hosted by Cursor, NUS and government organisations like JTC and EMA, and placed at Brainhack. On the professional side, I've shipped as a SWE intern at TikTok, an AI engineer at Lenor, and the first technical hire at Qrospay.

Beyond all of that, is my love for building and creating. I'm now in the Bay Area writing software at a stealth YC company, while building Intuition — my second venture, currently in closed beta.
