I am open to work!

I have graduated from university (as of December 2025) and I am actively looking for entry-level software engineering positions!
I have interned at places like Citadel, Stripe, and Palantir, and deeply enjoy solving user-facing, developer tooling, and infrastructure problems! (resume)
I am a Singapore Citizen so I have access to both the H-1B1 visa for the US and HPI visa for the UK, so visa sponsorship to the US and UK will not be a problem!
If I sound like a fit for your organization, please reach out to me via email and let's chat!
