Brief Introduction to your not so typical engineer |
» I am a strongly driven and extremely determined individual. I aim to be the best, and nothing but the best. Not only in terms of academic performance, but in all areas i.e. continuous self improvement. I have been using the internet since the early 90s and knew about its existence since the 80s. I may possibly know a lot lot more about your computer than you do having survived the good ol' DOS days! Have a read into some of the work I've done in the media release section. I do all that I do, because I believe in helping others through my software. Most recently I was nominated for the Spirit of Enterprise 2008 award in Singapore with voting open to the public in July this year.
» I am a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) Honours Class 1 graduate from the University of Queensland. I formally registered Skyjuice Software at the age of 23 before I embarked on my bachelors degree. (Previously Skyjuice Software was known as Guan Inc. This name was used since 2001.) Whilst being a study nerd, I tutored MMDS1400, Robocup Junior as well as CSSE3004/5, which is the final year IT Project for IT students. Prior to university I was a former student of Singapore Polytechnic, as well as a student of Temasek Polytechnic. My secondary school education was provided by St. Hilda's Secondary. Have a question to ask? Send me an email by visiting the contact us page.
» I am the chief architect of "Ezy Grant Writer", the first web based grant writing application tool. Have a look into the media release section. I sold my first peice of commercial software when I was 19, my client was Agouron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (now Pfizer).
