My Resume

About Me

I am a third-year undergraduate pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems at Singapore Management University (SMU), with a double major in Product Development and Artificial Intelligence. My academic journey combines technical expertise with a focus on innovation, preparing me to tackle real-world challenges in the technology space.

I possess a strong foundation in networking, demonstrated by achieving the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification in 2019 during my Diploma in Network Systems and Security at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. This certification reflects my ability to design, implement, and troubleshoot complex network infrastructures.

Building on this, I expanded my expertise into cloud technologies and earned the AWS Solutions Architect - Associate certification in March 2025. This milestone validates my skills in architecting and deploying secure, resilient, and cost-optimized cloud-native solutions on AWS.

Beyond networking and cloud architecture, I have developed a keen interest in software development, driven by a passion for creating impactful and user-focused digital solutions. I am continuously enhancing my skills in programming, artificial intelligence, and product design to build innovative applications that solve real-world problems.
