My Personal Aspiration:
"To make the world a better place."
It started from my journey at Nanyang Polytechnic, pursuing the Diploma of Engineering with Business. I was involved in various multi-disciplinary projects, creating innovative inventions that would impact society. Having gone through all these experiences has grown my interest in Technology Entrepreneurship, I believe in innovating solutions in search of problems by sustaining technology efforts, being persistent, and through the coordinated endeavor to accomplish technological change.
I'm continuously building my skillset to make the world a better place, which is why I chose to further my studies at Smart City Management and Technology Major in Singapore Management University (SMU) to equip myself with the knowledge of utilizing technology to make a positive impact to the lives of people, businesses and the environment.
Being a budding technologist, I believe entrepreneurship and innovation is one way to effect this change, inspired by technology enhancing workflow efficiency, increasing utilization for under-used assets, and reducing carbon footprint. Companies like Workato, AirBnB, Tesla, and Uber are my role models in catalyzing positive changes, whose forward-thinking founders goes against the grain of building amazing products, solving issues that were thought impossible.
I am very passionate about bringing concepts into reality which is why I’ve not only started my own startup previously with notable awards such as the Winning Idea Exhibited at Cool Ideas for Better HDB Living. I also immersed myself in various competitions and programs to reach my personal aspiration, to make the world a better place.
In my free time, I give back to society by being a Youth Corp Leader – By Youth Corps Singapore under the National Youth Council. I further co-founded Smart Cities Youth Network, a Social Enterprise that empowers youths with Smart City concepts through cross-collaboration between Academia, Industry, and the Government to Shape the Future of Cities.
I believe that everyone can achieve great things when they put their heart and soul into it. This quote has strongly resonated with me since young.
“There is not great people in the world, only great challenges which ordinary people rise to meet.”
I hope that one day, I too will be able to catalyze positive changes in the world.
