Singapore, Singapore
Just about 8 years ago, a doctor told me my eye condition, glaucoma, had reached the point of no return and I’d have to consider a life-long career as a masseuse. No disrespect to people who enjoy giving–and receiving–massages, but since then, I obviously chose a very different path. Over the years, I’ve been given many opportunities to work on many exciting projects, from designing the framework of coding curriculum to launching social initiatives to teach the blind like myself how to cook. I have many stories to tell about my personal adventures, and I hope to share them with the people I meet on LinkedIn. My story has also been featured on the likes of Forbes, HardwareZone, Microsoft, Channel News Asia, The Straits Times, Today, Lianhe Zaobao, CNA938, Our Grandfather Story, and more. My name is highly Google-able, so give it a try. Feel free to reach out and chat, I don’t bite! Unless, of course, it involves coffee and biscuits.
