I am a Ph.D. graduate from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and I am passionate about bridging the gap between technology and creativity by building intelligent interactive tools. My research interests lie at the intersection of Generative AI algorithms and interaction design for audio. I am being advised by Dr. Suranga Nanayakkara, Dr. Kokil Jaidka, and Dr. Lonce Wyse.

Before NUS, I worked in the industry for ~15 years in various roles. I helped build and architect solutions for various financial institutions, such as Credit Suisse and Lehman Brothers, and consulting organizations, such as Capgemini and Oliver Wyman.

I believe that we all need to do more to improve gender diversity in tech. I co-founded the Women Who Code network in Singapore in 2016 and led the network in the city as a Director until 2020. I was also involved in building developer communities as a DevRel advocate for YOW! Conferences in the city. I also previously volunteered for tech-for-good organizations such as Techladies, Engineers.sg and DataKind.SG and am constantly looking for opportunities to give back to the community.
