About

Building at the intersection of security and design

I'm a Diploma in Infocomm & Security graduate from Nanyang Polytechnic with hands‑on experience spanning UX/UI design, front‑end development, cybersecurity, and governance, risk & compliance (GRC). I thrive at the intersection of security and design — building digital products that are both functional and resilient.

During my internship at Suzhou Konggu Network Technology (KGU), I led UX/UI redesigns for international clients across Vietnam, China, and Germany; implemented SEO strategies; and contributed to GRC research covering ISO 27001, PCI DSS v4.0, SOC 2, and GDPR/CCPA.

I hold a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) credential and an Alibaba Cloud certification, and completed an overseas exchange at Hallym University in South Korea.

Ordinary places, extraordinary moments

A side practice since 2020 — quiet observations from temple courtyards in China, neon alleys in Tokyo, and the in‑between spaces most people walk past.
