About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn unexpectedly from strangers

ABOUT ME

Born in Malaysia, spent my first couple of years on an island called Papua New Guinea, spent some time in Australia and currently based in Singapore. In my past life, I was a management consultant; now I work on startups. I love what Technology is doing for this world and I'm passionate about making meaningful things that people want/need. I've travelled a fair bit and my favourite egg tart resides in San Francisco's Chinatown. I really hate waiting in lines and I'm not so good with animals (but I love them). I love unexpected learnings and always up for an adventure and a good conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." - George Bernard Shaw
