About Me!

I am currently studying Computer Science and Design as an undergraduate at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). I have a strong passion for Full-Stack Development and Data Sciences and I hope you will get to know me better through this mini web portfolio I have made!

Semi-Finalist @ DSTA BrainHack 2025 (TIL-AI Advanced Track) - Team "Data Chefs"

​

Tasks:

🎤 Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) - fine-tuned Whisper with 4-bit quant + torch.compile to decode noisy battlefield chatter.
🖼 Computer Vision (CV) - deployed YOLOv8 to spot threats across land, air & sea.
📄 Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - harnessed PaddleOCR & docTR to extract mission-critical text from corrupted documents.
🤖 Reinforcement Learning (RL) - built a CNN-powered Deep Q-Network that taught our Scout robot to navigate a maze and outscore Guard bots in a four-round, round-robin showdown.
🧩 Surprise Task: Document Reassembly - crafted an edge-matching solver using pixel similarity (SAD) of adjacent edges to piece shredded intel back together.

Centsible, the world’s FIRST group-expense tracking application!

 

Centsible is designed to provide families and friends with an easy and transparent way to manage expenses. By making transactions visible to all members within a family, the app encourages responsible financial habits and discourages overspending. Beyond just tracking expenses, it fosters a culture of accountability within the group, allowing financially mature adults to guide their children towards wiser financial decisions. In the event of scams or fraudulent purchases, Centsible also provides smart abnormal expense detection so that families can provide timely intervention. By doing so, the app not only simplifies financial management but also strengthens trust and collaboration among users, helping them build healthier financial relationships.

A 13-week Design-Thinking Project, aimed at solving the issue of social interactions using "Light". We created scaled-down modular structures that can be used as a table, chair, storage space and even as a bed. Lighting can be changed with manual inputs to set the mood and get brighter as structures get closer.
