Entrepreneur with a mission

I'm the co-founder of MomoCentral, an on-demand tech talent platform serving over 1,000 companies globally — from Y Combinator startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. We connect businesses with 450+ human-verified tech talents worldwide.

Beyond MomoCentral, I co-founded VIVITA Singapore (a global for-impact creative organization), served as CTO of Ray of Hope (a Singapore charity), and work with HERA Digital Health on tech for refugee healthcare. I'm an MIT graduate passionate about democratizing access to opportunities through technology.
