Hello
I'm Kevin

I'm both a Creative &
a Builder.

My Story

I believe in
boundless creation

I'm an artist of the undefined
My work knows no boundaries or constraints
For my canvas is the limitless expanse of imagination itself
I design with the end product in mind
Not merely as a culmination of my abilities
But as a manifestation of my unyielding determination
To me, the sky is not the limit
It is the launchpad for magnificent dreams to take flight

Since young, I'm passionate about both the arts and sciences, participated in competitions, dabbled in computer stuff. I studied Computing in JC due to personal interest, became YJC Scholar. After army, I pursued a degree in Aerospace Engineering at NTU (First Class Honors), went INSTEP at KAIST, was coveted President Research Scholar, highly commended for global Undergraduate Award and received DSO SOAR. After graduation, I started my career in space industry as an EE engineer focusing on spacecraft AIT as well as digital hardware design. In my spare time as a tinkerer, I play around with RPis, built all sorts of software from cloud-based web and mobile apps to hackathons. Later I furthered my career with ByteDance as a software engineer building high performance multimedia framework. The journey through the tech world led me to PayPal, where I build the next generation observability solution. I'm currently also building an algorithm trading platform using distributed system design. Looking forward to deepening tech expertise, with particularly interest in blockchain and quantum computing.
