About Me

I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Materials Engineering from Nanyang Technological University and embarked on a dynamic career as a process engineer in the Semiconductor industry. Seeking to expand my horizons, I transitioned to education, where I inspired young minds as a Chemistry teacher in a local secondary school. During my work as an educator, my interest in data science, machine learning, and AI was piqued. Fascinated by the power of data to solve complex problems, I was drawn to this thrilling field.

I decided to take my passion for data further by enrolling in General Assembly's intensive data science bootcamp. There, I dived into a variety of hands-on projects that solidified my skills and ignited my enthusiasm for data science even more. Now, I am on a journey to blend my engineering precision and educational insight to create innovative, data-driven solutions. I'm excited about the future and eager to contribute to groundbreaking projects that make a real difference. Join me as I explore the limitless possibilities that data science has to offer!
