Demographic

Born on December 9, 1996, I embarked on a unique journey before stepping into Swinburne. Nearly a decade in Singapore honed my skills and broadened my horizons. Now, at 28, I find myself among classmates nine years my junior, driven by an unyielding passion for technology and a relentless pursuit of knowledge. My experience has instilled in me a knack for meticulous planning and thorough preparation, qualities I bring to every endeavor. Yet, I am mindful of occasional assertiveness, understanding its potential impact on team dynamics, particularly when navigating deadlines. With each challenge, I strive to grow, embracing the opportunity to learn and evolve on this exciting academic path.

Hometown

Nestled in the heart of Sarawak, Kuching, known as the "Cat City," is a vibrant tapestry of biodiversity and cultural charm. Despite its predominantly rainy and hot seasons, I find solace in the sunny days and azure skies adorned with wispy clouds. Kuching is a culinary haven, boasting an array of delectable delights such as laksa and kolomee. As a proud Sarawakian, I have had the privilege of introducing many of my friends from Singapore and West Malaysia to the wonders of Kuching. From exploring its bustling markets to immersing themselves in its cultural festivities, each experience leaves an indelible mark. It is with great pride that I call this city home, cherishing its beauty and welcoming all who seek to uncover its treasures.

Greatest achievement

At the age of 18, I embarked on an exciting adventure by working in Singapore, a step that broadened my horizons and taught me invaluable life lessons. Then, at the age of 21, I achieved another milestone by purchasing my own house. These achievements have shaped me into the person I am today.
