About Me
Year 3 Undergraduate.
A passionate and driven penultimate undergraduate with a strong desire to contribute to and enhance Singapore's cybersecurity landscape.
The SingHealth hack in 2018 which affected millions of Singaporeans, including a close family member, spurred me to enroll in an undergraduate course in Information Security. I find the dynamic cybersecurity modules I have completed and the stimulating cybersecurity conferences I have attended to be highly exhilarating. The prospect of being part of such a vibrant community and having opportunities for professional growth is incredibly appealing, and I eagerly anticipate pursuing a career in cybersecurity.
Outside of curriculum, I also actively seek out community engagement opportunities. This year, as the Lead of the Google Developer Student Clubs NUS, I led a team of 140 members to design and develop six digital solutions for various local non-profit organizations. I also organized and hosted numerous internal events to promote the use of Tech For Good, including workshops, fireside chats, and a hackathon that successfully attracted 250 participants.
Currently, I am an intern in the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, where I am working on an internal tool to automate the detection of phishing websites. In my free time, I enjoy watching documentaries, personal finance videos, or trying out new video games. I also play volleyball occasionally!
Skills
Throughout my undergraduate study, I have experience with a variety of programming languages, using different libraries and APIs.
- C/C++: Having completed a module on Operating Systems and Data Structures & Algorithms, C/C++ is my go-to language for coding. Aside from memory management, I have experience working with system calls in C and dabbled in Standard Template Library in C++.
- Python: Working with Python in a computer network and security modules, I have experience with socket APIs and cryptography libraries in Python.
- HTML/CSS: Through online videos and tutorials, HTML/CSS were self-taught in the making of this website and used in the personal portofolio workshop conducted earlier this year.
- Java: Used in a software-engineering module, Java was the language of choice when practising software engineering and Object Oriented Programming principles such as Abstraction and Encapsulation.
- JavaScript: Self-learnt in 2021, JavaScript was used in the creation of StudyTogether Discord Bot as part of Orbital 2021.
- Bash: Working with Bash across different undergraduate modules, I have foundatational knowledge and experience with basic Bash commands.
Below is a summary of my skills across different languages.
Resume
I strive to strike a balance between academics and actively participating in community engagement opportunities.
