Grew up in Penang, the Pearl of the Orient.
Passionate on leveraging technology and data to address real-world problems.
Age: 23
Currently In: Paris, France
Speak & Read: English, Mandarin, Malay and French (basic)
I am currently interning as a product development intern in Paris as part of a university special program called NUS Overseas College that cultivates entrepreneurial experience in students by allowing students to work and study overseas in various countries while attached to a prestigious university. I am still pursuing a Business Analytics Undergraduate Degree at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore, with a passion for leveraging technology and using data to address real-world problems. I was a Singapore Polytechnic graduate with a Diploma in Information Technology graduated with merit. In my free time, I dabble myself in backstage theatre productions, specifically stage lighting, but you'll often see me travelling around Paris and europe.
My desire for creating data-driven solutions has empowered me to specialize in marketing analytics and product management. As an individual with such strong passion, I have worked on projects, courses, and internships while still enthusiastically learning to further improve myself. Given my strong leadership experience, project experience, and strong analytical background, I believe I have the right technical skills and people's skills to bring tasks to realization. I'm still enthusiastically learning other programming languages, principles, or business skills I can pick up to improve myself further.

Whether you are in a family outing, at a birthday party or an event, there are moments you wish you had a camera and capture the unforgettable. On your event day, I will be there to capture great big giant moments worth remembering forever like the time you first held your son's one-year-old birthday party. I'll be there to capture the little tiny moments like slicing your 21st birthday cake. Your event day is made of big and small moments. For me, it's not about creating the images but capturing the moments that matter to you. Photos that remind you how you felt at that moment. As a photographer, I'll be working side by side with you ensuring that on your event day, you're covered. My goal is to give you the least hassle and allow you to live the moments on your event day. Below are some of my past experiences. Take the time to enjoy and let the pictures do the talking.
