About
From building software
to leading engineering teams.
I began my career as a sailor in the Republic of Singapore Navy before moving into tech startups. My career spans hands-on software engineering and leadership roles across Singapore and Southeast Asia. Today, I am Director of Engineering at Mighty Jaxx, following leadership roles at Lenskart, DishDash.co and A Better Florist.
I bring that experience to conversations about how teams build and deliver software, work with AI agents, and adapt to a changing engineering landscape.
