Full-stack software engineer in Singapore.
I take products from schema to deploy - Next.js and TypeScript up front, Python and Postgres behind it.

About

I build solutions that make a real difference.

I'm a full-stack engineer who loves digging into a problem, figuring out what actually needs solving, and shipping something that moves the needle for the people using it. I've worked as a software engineer at GovTech and Klass, and built in hackathons where the deadline is measured in hours. Along the way I've designed data models, wired up auth, written end-to-end tests and deployed to production.

It started with dragging blocks around in Scratch, and it's still the same idea: software should take tedious work off people's plates so they can spend time on what matters. Off the keyboard, I'm usually playing dodgeball or exploring good food around the island.

I'm looking for full-stack roles. If you have a product that needs someone who can own it end to end, I'd love to talk.
