Having graduated from Singapore Management Unversity, I'm currently a Full Stack Engineer at Climate Impact X. I am deeply passionate and fiercely self-driven. I love all things technology and building solutions for problems. It is one of my goals in life to be able to use that love to make a real difference to society through software.

I thoroughly enjoy building beautiful, responsive and effective frontends using React + TypeScript + TailwindCSS, as well as building scalable, performant and resilient backends using

Java + Spring Boot or Node.js + Express.js , and PostgreSQL orMongoDB for the database.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me making filter/espresso coffee ☕️, hanging with friends 🎉, enjoying obscure films 🍿, tinkering with my split ergonomic keyboards 👐🏻, reading up about psychology/mental health stuff 📚, or dancing at my school's hip-hop dance club 🕺🏻.
