About Me

Hello! I'm Samuel, a Software Engineer with a passion for solving problems with technology. I also have a keen interest in software engineering principles, architecture and design patterns and figuring out how these can be applied to create more reliable, extensible and maintainable software!

I graduated with Honours (Highest Distinction) from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a Bachelor of Computing in Computer Science with focus areas in Software Engineering and Computer Security.

I'm currently on a post-graduation holiday till 2024 but still occasionally volunteer my time towards the TEAMMATES project where I serve as the project lead.
