01 / About

About me

I make complex software easy to use.

My goal is to make life easier through software. That might mean solving a frustrating problem, automating repetitive work, or making an everyday task take fewer steps.

My career has taken me through enterprise self-hosted, cloud, and embedded software, with stops at Copperleaf, Visier, and Rostrum Medical Innovations before landing at Safe Software. I'm happiest improving interfaces, building backend systems, and developing platform tools that enable engineers to do their best work.

I grew up on the little island of Singapore before moving to Vancouver to study and work. Outside of work, I'm a big fan of video games, horror films, and tinkering with side projects.
