Aspiring full-stack software engineer

Hi, I am a penultimate Computer Science undergraduate at the National University of Singapore (NUS) who is passionate about full-stack development and cloud system administration. I am an IMDA scholar (bond-free) who has received various awards and prizes during my past diploma and present university course.

I believes social growth is just as important as academic development. I was awarded the Colours Award for my contributions to the NUS recreational sports scene as the president of the NUS Inline Skating Club. I was also a tutor for CS1010: Programming Methodology and CS2030: Programming Methodology 2.

In my free time, I take online courses (most recently, HarvardX's Data Science: R Basics), practice Vinyasa yoga and train for endurance running.

Looking for summer internship in 2020

I am looking for a software engineering or cloud-operation internship from 11 May to 31 Aug 2020 where I will get to work on meaningful problems in a collaborative environment. During this internship, I hope to receive guidance from mentors who would challenge me to grow as a tech professional.

If you think I could be a good fit for your company, do reach out to me via email, view my LinkedIn profile or check out my Github page. A generic resume is also available below.
