Born in Johor Bahru, Malaysia 🇲🇾
Arrived on planet Earth, already humming rhythms and tinkering with anything that beeped.

Fell in Love With Beatboxing
2016 was the year beatboxing blew up online—viral YouTube routines, Vine loops, and endless “how-to” clips. I’d been making robot noises since nursery, but this was the first time I leaned in for real. Friends reshared my clips, strangers reached out, and lunchtime circles turned into impromptu shows. That surge of energy on every “boomp-tsk” made one thing clear: performing wasn’t just a hobby; it was the beginning of a lifelong rhythm.

July
Won SMKTPI's Got Talent
Walked on stage with nothing but a mic, then fired off a ten-minute medley of
drum-and-bass, EDM drops, and a Michael Jackson's Beat It remix.
The hall erupted—teachers waved their phone torches, classmates chanted my name, and the judges
offered a standing ovation before I’d even hit the final bassline.
Taking home the trophy crowned me “the beatbox guy” on campus and booked me for every school event
that followed.

Beatbox × Diabolo Cinematic Collab — Champion Again
Instead of another solo, I pitched a mash-up with the school’s Chinese-yoyo team: I’d be the live
soundtrack, they’d sync tricks to every beat.
On stage I layered basslines, melodies, and foley—gunfire pops, boot-step thuds, helicopter
rotors—while the diabolists “dodged bullets” and leapt through whirring yoyos.
The routine felt like an action movie unfolding in real time; the judges called it the most
inventive set the contest had seen and handed us the trophy—back-to-back champs.

Offer from Singapore Polytechnic 🎉
Checked my email between beach photos in Bali—an acceptance letter from Singapore Polytechnic! At my aunt’s wedding reception I was already grinning ear to ear; the offer doubled the joy and turned the night into an unforgettable celebration.

My First “Hello, World!” 🚀
Pulled an all-nighter in NetBeans, slammed the green button ▶︎, and watched
Hello World light up the console—instant dopamine hit, and the moment I knew
“Whoa, I can make machines talk.”

September
Software Engineer Intern @ Pixium Digital
Dropped into a Docker-first shop mid-pandemic and quickly became the team’s go-to problem-solver. My work was later showcased as the “solid SWE” benchmark, leading to a full-time offer I accepted instead of heading straight to university.

Graduated Singapore Polytechnic 🎓
Earned my Diploma in Information Technology, specialising in Data Structures & Algorithms and UI/UX. Walked across the stage with a portfolio packed full of code, wireframes, and one big grin—ready for the next sprint in tech.

March → Dec 2023
Tech Lead @ Pixium Digital
I learned that great software is equal parts people, process, and code.
Leading a small crew, I turned napkin sketches into polished apps and used smart release
automation to shrink launch time from days to hours.
Making our servers battle-ready cut outages by 70 %, while rethinking data flows taught me that
milliseconds matter—dashboards now load twice as fast.
Best of all, mentoring juniors showed me that when the team grows, happy clients (and repeat
projects) follow.

Software Engineer @ ByteDance
I learned that at a 180 k-employee giant, shaving minutes can save months.
By turning paper-heavy HR, finance, and legal workflows into one-click apps, my team now frees up
600–800 man-hours per project every month.
Re-usable low-code bricks let new features launch 67 % faster, while a rock-solid backend keeps
uptime at 99.95 %.
Best lesson of all: mentoring juniors and running code-review huddles doesn’t just level up
people—it levels up every release we ship.

Next Stop: BIT @ NUS 🎓
Campus nights, ByteDance days—starting this August I’ll be swapping lecture halls for stand-ups and back again. Expect algorithm deep dives at sunrise, production pushes by lunch, and side-projects after dinner. Can’t wait to fuse fresh theory with real-world code in one adrenaline-charged semester loop!
