# about me

I graduated from the National University of Singapore (Political Science major, Public Health minor) in 2020 – directly into my country's COVID-19 lockdown.

Having always had a deep love for tech and things to tinker with, I embarked on a whirlwind non-linear 2-year journey.

I got to observe the boardrooms of the policy world as a public servant (MCI), and braved the 24/7 battleground of tech/business operations (Shopee).

In each of these roles, I relished the challenge of learning to read and navigate complex systems - both technical and organisational.

Working shoulder to shoulder with developers every day at Shopee allowed me a window into the world of software engineering. Their encouragement gave me confidence to enrol in General Assembly's full-time Software Engineering Intensive, and finally pivot towards a career in engineering
