Finding satisfaction in solving puzzles and strategizing in video games led me down the path of Software Engineering. I started out as a game developer which ignited my passion for technology and innovation, to bring fun and value to people. Those drove me to enter hackathons and diving into new tech. Being a builder at heart, problem-solving was my biggest strength, and entering the financial industry fulfilled a lot of that. The fun begins by marrying both finance and technology to fast-track our way of life such as electronic executions, payments, and many more. My experiences lie in backend software development and management. My interests include but are not limited to artificial intelligence (generative, interactive), blockchain and people management.
