A computer programmer πŸ€“ who loves diving into software πŸ“š exploring the world 🌍 and participating in conferences and community events 🍻.

Pre-2019: 🌍 Life was a blend of programming and adventures. I cherished exploring the globe, often working remotely from various locations. This "instant getaway" lifestyle wasn't just about travel; it afforded me more time for learning, working, and unwinding.

Post-2019: πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ I moved to Berlin, and I decided a change to spending my work life in the office 🏒 Having worked remotely and moved around places for ~10 year, it felt like the right time for a change. I had happy times spent in the office, but who knows what future holds? Then, unexpectedly, COVID hit! Oops.

Now: πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬ I've circled back to my "origin" in Singapore, eager to spend time with my family and friends, and knitting a little relationship 🧢. On the work front, I'm exploring how my tech skills can carve out meaningful impacts in the Public Service sector.

I'm also passionate about sports, but I can't do any now because of my foot injury; No running, hiking, and dancing for now. I'm hopeful to resume my tennis and beach volleyball classes soon! In the meantime, what am I up to? I am learning about art, and djembe πŸ›’οΈ!
