Working thesis
Turn curiosity into systems that hold up.
I am a JC1 student at Hwa Chong Institution and a student developer focused on applied AI, computer vision, full-stack software, and agentic systems. I enjoy taking ideas from concept to working prototype: understanding the problem, designing the system, building the implementation, testing it, and improving it based on feedback. Long term, I want to build practical AI systems that solve real problems and continue developing the engineering judgement needed to turn prototypes into reliable products.
This site is both a record of that work and a place to explain the ideas behind it.
