From Academia to Industry

Science & Engineering

I was born in the U.S.A, have family across multiple countries and continents, have visited over 50 countries, and have been living and working in Singapore since 2015. I was educated in Electrical / Computer Engineering and Mathematics while studying Computational Electromagnetics, Materials and Fuid Dynamics. My favorite tools were Java, Matlab, R and various Multi-Physics Simulators. I performed research in Flexible & Printable Electronics then worked in the design and manufacture of Sensors and Radar.

Decision Science

Data Storytelling, Design Thinking and UX/UI Design

I started working as a Decision Scientist at Rolls-Royce R² Data Labs in 2017. This role is different to that of a Data Scientist in that it involves designing decision support frameworks and visualizations to make analytics more user-friendly.

This lead me into a new role of a UX/UI Designer and UX Lead where I helped various digital teams perform user research, problem definition, ideation, design, prototyping and testing.

I am now a Product Owner & UX Lead, focusing on buildling a solution to systemize discover, design and delivery of digital products across the business.

Bringing Experiences to Life

Designing for native iOS and Android

I enjoy using Swift (SwiftUI), Kotlin (Jetpack Compose) to test new user interactions and experiences. These are beautiful languages and frameworks that have really solidified my confidence in user interface design. Please stay tuned for more updates on this journey later in 2022.
