Profile

With four years in telecommunications, I have hands-on experience in network engineering (GPON, DWDM, IP networking), project coordination, and technical operations. I specialize in network deployment, migration projects, and cross-functional stakeholder coordination across Singapore and internationally.

On the side, I've started getting into web development. Nothing grand — a project management tool, a wedding invitation, this resume. Just building things that felt useful and seeing where the learning takes me.
