Making friends while hiking Mt Rinjani (2023)

I make things and make things happen.

Recently, I was a quant intern at Redacted where I researched cubic spline interpolation methods for IR curve modelling, among other things. Before that, I worked at Kpler, GIC, and Rolls‑Royce.

I’m from Singapore. I studied Aerospace Engineering at NTU, then got a Masters in Mathematics at NUS. Besides reading, I run and lift most evenings and hike or snowboard when I’m travelling. Being outside helps everything click into place.

There’s so much I want to understand and countless problems worth solving. I want to make a dent in the universe.

I believe…

  • the future can be great
  • you can just do things
  • you should make friends with smart, agentic people who push you toward better outcomes
  • no matter how bad you feel now, when you’re older you’ll wish you could be back here
  • the only thing that matters long-term is to be directionally correct

I’m excited about…

  • the space where art, science, and craft converge
  • tools that extend human capabilities without getting in the way
  • the wild and the whimsical
