I build things. Then I protect them.
After 15 years as a mechanical design engineer, I have spent the past three years repositioning at the intersection of cloud engineering, cybersecurity, and AI governance — where the most important questions are no longer just technical. They are about ownership, protection, and accountability.
What I Am Building

Building toward an independent advisory practice and SaaS platform — GRC.CX — serving technology companies navigating AI IP risk in Singapore.
