Work Experience

Teaching Assistant

National University of Singapore

I taught the concepts of programming and computational problem solving to 8 computer science freshmen in CS1101S Programming Methodology. Topics covered include functional abstraction, recursion, higher-order functions, data abstraction, algorithmic strategies, state mutation, loops and arrays, evaluation strategies, sorting and searching, and debugging and testing.

August 2021 - November 2021

Software Development Intern

Defence Science and Technology Agency

I developed a multiplayer mobile training simulation for NSmen to revise Urban Operation tactical movement concepts with their team without the need for a physical training site. More specifically, I enabled multiplayer using Photon Networking, created the physics engine and enemy AI with C#, and implemented the UI and controls and model animations with Unity3D.

Feburary 2020 - April 2020

Singapore Armed Forces

As a Cisco certified networking personnel, I installed and managed server and client networks on multiple occasions for up to 500 users. I also had a major role in designing and implementing VLAN networks in 7 buildings and installations, and conducted Army computer network and information systems trainings. With an additional responsibility as the Officer Commanding's Personal Assistant, I also overhauled the unit administrative systems, bringing them online for efficiency and accuracy and assisted in managing the company's manpower.
