About

A bit about me

I'm a software engineer based in Singapore. I work across the stack — from Django and React SaaS platforms, to LangChain/RAG agents over MES data, to computer vision pipelines deployed on real bonding lines.

My background spans multi-tenant SaaS, MLOps, and AWS serverless architectures. Outside the day job, I mentor and judge at hackathons across Southeast Asia — Google Developer Groups, MMU CodeNection, UMHackathon, and USM Varsity.
