Hi! I work on building and protecting trust in an increasingly digital world. I started my career working on Singpass, Singapore's national digital identity. Currently researching agentic AI authorisation and delegation.

About
I first dabbled with hardware as a 10-year-old and became the go-to person for my friends and family to fix their tech woes. It wasn't until my early twenties that my journey in software began.
I've had the privilege of working on Singapore's national digital identity, Singpass, building products in the digital identity space — a key pillar of digital public infrastructures. Currently, I'm researching about Agentic AI access controls, delegation, principal authorisation and auditability.
I'm a software engineer by profession; also a creative, writer, and service-design enthusiast — dedicated to co-creating user-centred and interoperable digital public infrastructures as a force for good in an increasingly digital world.
