I am a software engineer in Singapore who builds AI-backed products end to end: the model, the services around it and the app people use. I now apply that to robots at Fabrica AI, after a Computer Engineering degree at NTU Singapore with the Lee Kuan Yew Gold Medal.

- Typed, then checked by CI: strict TypeScript, and a GitHub Actions build that stops on a type error before anything deploys.
- Written down: a repository opens with what it does, its result and how to reproduce it, with a pipeline figure where useful.
- Small, reversible steps: one change per commit with a plain imperative message; infrastructure kept as code in Terraform and Docker.
