About

Designing and building 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 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. Now pursuing a Computer Science degree at NUS, I'm focused on breaking into the technopreneurship space. With a tech internship at Qrospay and a SWE role @ Upcycler Studios under my belt, I am currently aggressively pursuing as much technical experience I can to be the best engineer and founder I can be.
