What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to innovate and optimize workflows while working in a collaborative environment.

I am a committed and innovative software engineer with a strong background in game development and graphics rendering. My journey began at DigiPen Institute of Technology, where I led multiple projects and honed my skills in technical leadership. I am passionate about finding digital solutions that enhance efficiency and accuracy in traditional workflows.

During my internship at Lightspeed Studios, I implemented custom render passes on Unreal Engine 5, which allowed me to explore modern rendering techniques. My experience as a coach at RoboThink, where I taught Python and block programming, further solidified my ability to communicate complex concepts effectively. I take pride in my resourcefulness and adaptability, which have been key in my various roles, including as a Teacher Assistant at DigiPen Institute of Technology.

As a technical lead for several projects, I have successfully managed teams to develop innovative game engines and applications. My work with the Republic of Singapore Airforce showcased my ability to digitize workflows, resulting in significant efficiency improvements. I am eager to continue pushing the boundaries of technology and contribute to projects that challenge the status quo.
