About

I’m interested in how complex systems — ecological, urban, technological, and organisational — can be better understood through data, spatial intelligence, and interdisciplinary thinking. My experience has ranged from ecological mapping and urban research to stakeholder coordination, international trade support, and synthetic data engineering for computer vision systems. Across these domains, the recurring thread in my work has been translating complex information into clearer operational insight. At Enterprise Singapore, I supported stakeholder engagements and internationalisation-related initiatives across trade and business functions. In the urban and environmental space, I contributed to ecological workflows and spatial analysis work tied to large-scale developments, including research connected to Riyadh’s New Murabba project. More recently, I’ve been involved in synthetic data and computer vision workflows within defence-related contexts, exploring how AI systems can better interpret and operate within real-world environments. I’m particularly drawn to work involving geospatial systems, computational urbanism, AI-enabled decision support, and the coordination challenges that emerge when technology, infrastructure, and human systems intersect. Beyond technical execution, I enjoy connecting ideas across disciplines, identifying overlooked patterns, and finding ways to bridge analytical depth with practical implementation.
