About

Software engineer based in Singapore.

Biography

I'm a software engineer based in Singapore. I studied Computer Science at the National University of Singapore, focusing on parallel computing, computer networks, and distributed systems.

My work spans backend services, robotics, finance, and cloud infrastructure: NestJS APIs and Camunda workflows at GovTech, autonomous vehicle software and hardware-in-the-loop testing at Venti Technologies, scaling financial systems at Quantedge, and running a DevSecOps platform at DSTA.

Outside of work I build machine learning projects, like a forecasting pipeline for soybean futures prices.

Experience

  1. Project Manager, Cloud & Infrastructure, Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA)

    Nov 2025 – Mar 2026

    Singapore

    Managed an internal DevSecOps platform that lets software engineering teams onboard projects and accelerate development within required security environments.

    • Evaluated and onboarded new developer and security technologies, including scanning tools, by assessing technical requirements and integration with the existing platform.
    • Worked with software engineers to understand application requirements, assess platform suitability, and support project onboarding.
    • Coordinated infrastructure upgrades and capacity expansion, including server procurement and network connectivity requirements.
  2. Software Engineer Intern, Quantedge

    Jun 2025 – Jul 2025

    Singapore

    Built features and improved scalability in production financial software systems.

    • Implemented new features in production-grade legacy codebases, minimizing regression risk through testing and safe development practices.
    • Debugged and analyzed complex financial software systems to find issues and ship changes across unfamiliar codebases.
    • Improved system scalability through horizontal and vertical scaling, and integrated KEDA for event-driven autoscaling.
  3. Software Engineer Intern, Venti Technologies

    Aug 2024 – Oct 2024

    Singapore

    Worked on C++ and ROS software for autonomous vehicle systems.

    • Maintained C++ and ROS software components supporting autonomous vehicle systems.
    • Developed hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) tests to validate autonomous vehicle functionality and catch software regressions.
    • Contributed to an automated regression testing tool to improve system reliability and test coverage.
  4. Software Engineer Intern, GovTech Singapore

    May 2023 – Jun 2024

    Singapore

    Built backend services for an RFID-based smart facility management platform for asset tracking and operational workflows.

    • Designed and implemented NestJS REST APIs and Camunda workflows to automate business processes and integrate system components.
    • Integrated IoT data streams into centralized backend systems, enabling real-time data processing and operational analytics.
    • Worked with engineers and stakeholders to develop, test, and maintain backend features across the platform.
