I graduated from 5-years architecture major in the National University of Singapore in year 2014, and have been working with the planning authority of Singapore as a project architect for the past 2.5 years since graduation.
For my current job position, my responsibilities are to design, develop and implement various government projects ranging from large scale park/promenade to pedestrian malls. During these 2.5 years, I have acquired necessary skills and understanding in project management of projects of different nature.
My interest is in but not restricted to architectural design and urban planning of public realm but I have also keen interest in residential and commercial projects in the private realm of which I wish to explore and develop a more holistic understanding in.
I have language proficiency in English, Mandarin, and Malay which I wish to capitalise on in my career. I would be able to contribute in term of communication for project in Asia & Southeast Asia while having the opportunity to experience dynamic environment and work travel experience.
I believe with my education training, past experience and language proficiency, I would be able to value add to my future undertakings and career. I hope for opportunities to experience multi-culture and multi-disciplinary working environment.
