About Me

hello! 👋 i'm a year three computer science undergrad at NUS from sunny singapore 🇸🇬.

after concluding my 3-month stint as a full-stack developer intern 📚 with venti technologies 🚚, i'm looking for new opportunities as a software engineer intern!

i've recently been interested in algorithms ⚙ and have been challenging myself by taking higher-level coursework 📕 on optimization algorithms 📈 and streaming algorithms 🌊.

in my free time, i enjoy bouldering 🧗‍♀️, ultimate frisbee 🥏, and vibing to some RnB / lofi tunes 🎶.
