About

I love learning, exploring new ideas, and connecting with people. Whether it’s business, finance, tech, fashion, or art, I’m always curious about how things work and how they can be improved. I always want to know how and why things are done in a particular way and if they can be done better. I enjoy thinking in the grey areas and, therefore, pushing the boundaries of the rules because the result is usually surprising and it keeps me on my toes. I've always enjoyed public speaking and debates, meaningful conversations that challenge perspectives, and most of all, I love conquering insurmountable odds. Problem-solving comes naturally to me; I like figuring things out and finding creative solutions, especially when things get complex. Most importantly, I believe in growth, not just for myself, but for the people around me. If you’re into exchanging ideas, tackling challenges, or just having a great conversation, let’s connect!

  • E-Commerce Entrepreneur | Online Arbitrage at Self-employed
    Mar 2019 - 2023 · 3 yrs 11 mos

    From a young age, I built a self-sustaining e-commerce business by identifying market gaps and sourcing high-demand products through domestic and international networks. Leveraging platforms like Facebook, Carousell, and Alias, I developed effective sales strategies, optimized inventory management, and utilized custom automation tools to streamline operations. Through strategic purchasing and strong negotiation skills, I successfully generated over $200,000 SGD in revenue all while balancing my studies and personal commitments. This hands-on experience has not only honed my ability to adapt to market trends, build relationships, and make data-driven decisions but also introduced me to the world of business in a way that traditional education could not. It taught me valuable lessons in entrepreneurship, decision-making, and leadership, skills that continue to shape my approach to business today.
