hii i'm Shawn.
currently: product manager building internal tools at Sea Labs to power Shopee, Garena, and Monee. I'm developing DCIM software to support data center operations (ask me anything about data centers and AI).
previously: forward deployed engineer at Locofy (Frontend AI B2B Software), software engineer at Kisi (nyc)
Outside of work, I build AI for everyday use and other side projects. In the past, I've enjoyed working on Saas projects, technical hackathons. In my free time i love reading, writing, watching anime, history, running. I studied CS at NUS.
I love king oyster mushroom and blue pea vanilla ice cream. I love space and sci-fi.
sidequests:
- Bigwall - AI knowledge hub for your internet artefacts and ideas; curation engine to build good taste
some things I believe:
- Make it exist first, then make it better later. The first version is always shit. It will become better with iteration.
- Never take the easy option. Doing hard things often is exercise for the soul, makes you more resilient.
- The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. - Steve Jobs
- We are defined by our choices, not our past. Every moment is a chance to become someone new. - Jean Paul Satre
- Be kind to others. Super difficult but something I want to strive towards.
