About
Who I am

I'm a Project Manager with 6+ years of experience across semiconductor manufacturing and SaaS, spanning FMCG, Finance, and digital transformation. I'm moving toward Product Management, Program Management, and Transformation roles where delivery ownership and stakeholder complexity are the core of the job. I hold an M.Sc in Communications Engineering from NTU Singapore.

My edge is people and complexity: I've managed production and optimization for teams of 90+, which means I'm equally comfortable navigating large stakeholder groups as I am breaking down a messy process into something that actually works. I'm tenacious, a fast learner, and I negotiate well, which means I ship with less friction than most.

Right now I'm building at the intersection of digital transformation and product thinking, turning broken manual processes into systems people actually want to use.

When I'm not at a whiteboard, I'm on a surfboard, a SUP, or a yoga mat, practicing Kalari.
