Hey there! I'm Ivan,
a full-stack software engineer.

I'm currently building product @ Meta


about

I strive to build software products to add value into our everyday lives. I've been part of building 2 national-level products, RedeemSG and ParkingSG, the voucher distribution and parking payment systems for Singapore respectively. I also have a keen interest in finance and entrepreneurship, hoping to build a FinTech startup sometime in the future.

When I’m not actively coding, I engage in lots of sports to keep my body moving. I primarily play floorball, but also some tennis, badminton, golf, HIIT workouts, cycling and running.

I'm mainly familiar with

Python
JavaScript
TypeScript
React
NextJS
Express
AWS
Heroku
PostgreSQL
