Hello! I’m an AI engineer working on agents, agentic tools, small language models, and data analysis.

I graduated from Nanyang Technological University with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I’m also a Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect and Machine Learning Engineer, as well as a Blue Team Level 1 and Certified SCADA Security Engineer.

My research interests also include healthcare and archaeology (papers coming soon). In my free time, I enjoy reading, photography, and Silambam. Feel free to reach out!
