First month as a Tanzu Labs Software Engineer

31 May 2023

I recently joined VMware Tanzu Labs (previously called Pivotal Labs), an agile software consulting team. During my first month, I have experienced the team’s learning culture, learnt about our agile practices, and had fun with my teammates. Here are some of my key events and learnings:

My journey as a tech associate in GovTech SIOT

1 October 2020

Exploring CSS Grid

21 December 2017

I first heard about the CSS grid layout module from this presentation and was really mindblown! While learning CSS and building web pages, I've often been confused and annoyed by how complicated it is to lay out everything where I want it to be. (Flexbox, floats and clearfix, I'm looking at you!!)

Startathon - Project Vigilance

25 October 2017

Somehow in my two years in SUTD I’d only ever gone for a hackathon once (and it was not a tech one but one on social entrepreneurship), so when a friend asked me to join him for #startathon I immediately agreed.
