About
I currently work as a Research Software Development Engineer at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), where I build platforms and tools supporting research in human-AI collaboration. My work involves designing and improving systems that support knowledge organization, collaboration, and AI-assisted workflows.
Beyond building software, I have always been interested in understanding how things work beneath the surface. I enjoy exploring how systems are designed, how they evolve as they grow, and the trade-offs involved in building and maintaining them.
