About
I'm a final-year Computer Science undergraduate at the National University of Singapore, with a focus on building accessible and beautiful software. I care deeply about design and am especially drawn to human-computer interaction, both in practice and in research.
I am currently completing my studies and working on my final year project, where I investigate the effects of alternating attention on people's reliance on LLMs. Over the course of my degree, I have developed strong interests in software engineering, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction. I hope to continue deepening both my academic and industry experience in these areas.
Previously, I have taken on a range of roles, from teaching positions at the university to technical roles at medium- and large-scale firms, including ByteDance, Source Academy, and Emart. My experience in the Republic of Korea Air Force also gave me time to reflect more deeply on what I want from my career, and it has only strengthened my commitment to this path.
In my free time, I enjoy a few quaint hobbies, including solving The New York Times crosswords and knitting.
