};Who
I'm a Computer Science student specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data at SIM-UOW, with hands-on experience in full-stack development, systems design, and building human-centred applications, leveraging the AI tools at my disposal
My background spans the Republic of Singapore Navy, where I managed mission-critical weapons systems, to the retail floor as an Educator at Lululemon. Two pretty different jobs, but each one came down to staying level-headed when something went wrong and explaining it clearly to whoever was in front of me. Turns out that matters just as much when you're debugging a broken build at 1am.
I hold a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) credential and try to apply an agile mindset to whatever I'm working on. At BrainHack 2026 I built an Anthropic Claude API assistant into Fall In, so "I use AI tools" isn't just a line here. It's something I've had to wire up, gate behind permission checks, and debug when it tried to do something it shouldn't.

Selected
Fall In
A full-stack platform for coordinating military training logistics β 18+ authenticated pages and 13 API routes in Next.js 16, with an in-app Claude API assistant that handles bulk member management and packing-list generation behind a preview β confirm/reject step so it can't act without sign-off. Row-level security across 8 tables enforces rank-based access at the database layer, and Telegram + Google Calendar handle the notifications. BrainHack 2026 Web Development Hackathon finalist.
Trade Journal
A trading journal app for logging trades β symbol, P&L, risk, entry reason, and emotion (with FOMO/revenge-trade flags), checked against a personal checklist of entry rules. The dashboard tracks account balance and % gain, a cumulative P/L chart, and a radar chart of win rate, profit factor, and drawdown control, plus a calendar view of daily/monthly P&L. Auth runs through Supabase with email confirmation, and trade screenshots live in Supabase Storage.
Train to Bishan
A humorous browser-based game that turns the everyday Singapore MRT commute into a chaotic, interactive experience. Built for the Singapore Stupid Hacks Hackathon, created in collaboration with a team of 4 developers and won 2nd place.
AI-Powered Study Assistant
A full-stack web app that uses machine learning to generate personalized study plans, quiz questions, and performance analytics for students.
Agile Sprint Tracker
A Scrum board web app with backlog management, sprint planning, burn-down charts, and team velocity tracking β built to apply CSM certification knowledge in a real product.
Multilingual Flashcard App
A spaced-repetition vocabulary trainer supporting English, Mandarin, and Portuguese. Tracks retention rates, adjusts review frequency dynamically, and exports progress reports.
