Business operations consultant at Joy Origins Consulting who launched Daily Manifest, a generative AI tool.

Message

At Joy Origins Consulting, I built AI agent workflows with Claude Code, custom skills, and MCP integrations to automate research, content, and business operations with human review checkpoints. I also designed and launched Daily Manifest, a generative AI tool that turns real-time user input into personalised action prompts in under three minutes.

At Korn Ferry, I led development of self-service reporting tools in Power BI, VBA, and Excel, giving leadership real-time business insights. I also audited operations across 11 APAC countries and implemented streamlined processes and best practices.

At Deloitte Consulting (Strategy & Operations), I worked on digital transformation of customer onboarding for a global bank across multiple countries. I ran requirements workshops, mapped current- and future-state processes, and defined a Target Operating Model with global and country leadership buy-in.

At National University of Singapore (SCALE), I coordinated delivery with 16 faculties to co-design executive education and youth programmes. I’ve also built a centralised knowledge management system for regional teams and developed and commercialised a 56-session memory training curriculum.
