I am a Secondary 4 student at Ngee Ann Secondary School with a strong interest in cybersecurity, programming, and digital innovation. I have participated in national-level competitions like the Cyber Defenders Discovery Camp and Lockheed Martin CyberQuest.

I have undergone training in the Technopreneur Programme, Sentinel Programme, and the National Cadet Corps (NCC), all of which developed my leadership and service values.

The Technopreneur Programme is a talent development programme at Ngee Ann Secondary that fosters entrepreneurship and innovation through design thinking.
The Sentinel Programme by MINDEF and SAF aims to equip students with cybersecurity and digital skills for national service and beyond.
The NCC, a Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) in most Secondary Schools in Singapore, is a paramilitary youth organisation that instills discipline, resilience, and leadership through military-style training.

I aim to enter 42 Singapore when I turn 18, serve in the Defence Intelligence Service (DIS) during my NS, ideally through the Polytechnic Cyber Work-Learn Scheme, and eventually build a long-term career in cybersecurity, preferably in a government agency or a self-started company.

Who I Truly Am

I am a curious learner, self-motivated and hyperfixating when I am interested in a subject. I make up my lack of trophies and major placings in important competitions with consistent participation and studying.
With my experience with NCC, I am disciplined and a good team player with a heart to serve. My quick problem solving abilities help to speed up team efficiency.

I am part of this contingent but sadly cut out of the picture.

When I assume a leadership position, I strive to be a passionate one who rallies the troops and boost my teammates' morale. My preferred communication style with teammates is where information is given from all directions to one another simultaneously, while each team member listens for required information and completes the task at hand.
Much time put into serving others as a child has given me a love for volunteering. Memorable moments of such experiences include helping to exhibit the Technopreneur and Sentinel booths at Ngee Ann Secondary School Open House 2024 and following my kindergarten principal to Batam, giving stationery to needy students and reading books to an orphanage.

I like to laugh and be easygoing when not serious. With my classmates and our teachers, we like to take funny photos together and crack jokes.

Sentinel 2025 — This is the Sentinel Class of 2025, which has a few students that are in the class that takes Computing, including me. The man in the front is our teacher, Jun Hao. I am at back centre (shaved hair, face in projector). Although this was taken during our last class with him, we were still having a good laugh.
