Republic of Singapore Air Force officer, engineer, and incoming Stanford Graduate School of Business MBA candidate. I work at the seams where defense systems, hardware, machine learning, and product thinking overlap — because the same discipline of tracing inputs to outcomes runs through all of them.
Different fields, same underlying question: how does a system behave under real conditions, and where does it break?
Commanded a Flight of approximately 30 personnel operating the Aster 30 ground-based air defense system as a Flight Commander in 163 Squadron, Republic of Singapore Air Force — real-time systems where detection, decision, and response have to work under pressure, every time.
OPERATIONSBachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Engineering from Northwestern University, with a semester at ETH Zürich — grounding in how systems are built from the transistor up, not just how they're used.
ENGINEERINGOngoing interest in how machine learning systems make decisions under uncertainty — the same core problem as air defense, at a different scale and with different stakes.
RESEARCHIncoming MBA candidate, Stanford Graduate School of Business, Class of 2028 — translating systems fluency into product judgment: what to build, for whom, and why it matters.
STANFORD, CLASS OF 2028My career started in a role where the cost of a bad system was measured in the worst possible terms — commanding an air defense unit means the feedback loop between decision and consequence is immediate and unforgiving. That's the lens I've carried into everything since: engineering degrees that taught me how systems are built, and now a Stanford MBA aimed at learning how to decide what gets built at all.
I'm drawn to problems that sit at intersections — hardware and software, human judgment and automated systems, operational discipline and product ambition. I'm currently exploring product management in tech, with a particular interest in the infrastructure, ML tooling, and platform layers where technical depth and product judgment both matter.
Tiered by depth — from core practice to working familiarity.
Incoming MBA candidate, Class of 2028.
Flight Commander, 163 Squadron — Aster 30 ground-based air defense system. Led a Flight of approximately 30 personnel.
Awarded the Public Service Commission Scholarship — Singapore's competitive national scholarship, a prerequisite for the Singapore Armed Forces Scholarship also received — to pursue Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Engineering. Exchange semester at ETH Zürich, Fall 2018.
