About
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.
Teams, technical direction and the organisation around software.
The practices and systems behind how engineering teams deliver.
How working with AI agents changes software development.
Beyond my day-to-day role, I mentor with JuniorDevSG × WomenDevsSG.
