🚀 Making Banking Apps Less Boring Since Forever
With 5+ years of battling Xcode errors, I've worked across fintech, entertainment, and probably a few projects that should have never seen the light of day. I specialize in Swift and iOS development, mostly because Objective-C feels like reading ancient hieroglyphics. My focus? Security, performance, and making sure users don't rage-quit.
At OCBC Bank, I've fearlessly dragged legacy code into the future (kicking and screaming), boosted performance by 40%, and removed SMS OTP because, let's be honest, nobody liked it anyway. Also, I implemented DuitNow QR so businesses can throw money at each other with a simple scan. Teamwork is great, but I'm also highly skilled in talking to rubber ducks when debugging at 2 AM.

If it's broken, I fix it. If it's not broken, I probably still refactor it

If you're wondering what I look like in real life, here are some of my photos. I don't usually take pictures, but here are a few!
Lost in the vibes, found in the aesthetics. Miami Beach... but make it bamboo jungle. 😎
Work hard, or at least look like you are. Mission accomplished. 😏
Breaking stereotypes one ice rink at a time… or maybe just breaking bones. 😆
