Experience
I've always enjoyed understanding how things work. Whether that's systems, communities, or machines. That curiosity led me from engineering into analytics, media, and eventually building things of my own.
Earlier on, I spent time at BP, where I was exposed to large-scale operations, safety-critical environments, and how real-world systems are designed to work reliably under pressure.
Outside of formal roles, I'm constantly tinkering, from building startups, side projects, and small solutions to problems I notice along the way. Some stick, some don't, but the process of testing ideas has always mattered more to me than the outcome alone.
One of those experiments grew into Autosave, where I focus on community-led brand building in the automotive space. I strongly believe communities are not just distribution channels. They are relationships built on trust, relevance, and long-term value. Autosave was incubated under NUS Enterprise and Block71, and recognised by APAC Insider through the Singapore Business Awards in 2025 and 2026.
That conviction is now the foundation of Influencees, a creator credibility and discovery platform I'm building for Southeast Asia. The creator economy is large, but decision-making within it remains unstructured. Brands pick creators based on follower counts and gut feel, and creators lack any standardised way to demonstrate their credibility. Influencees is my attempt to build the trust layer that the industry is missing.
Through contributions to platforms like ROADS.sg, I share practical perspectives on road safety in Singapore, advocating on responsible road use through creative engagement formats while learning directly from key stakeholders like Traffic Police (TP) and Land Transport Authority (LTA).
At the end of the day, I care most about building things that feel useful, honest, and grounded in real experience.
