Experience

Where I've worked

"Go for it. No matter how it ends, it was an experience."
  • Program Manager at TikTok

    June 2025 to present

    I run strategic and operational projects for a global live-streaming platform, working with engineering, policy and data teams.

  • Business Analyst Intern at GovTech

    May 2024 to March 2025

    I worked on the Whole-of-Government LLM stack. Most of the job was talking to people at more than eight government agencies, finding out where the thing broke down for them, and turning that into product proposals for senior leadership.

    • Ran the integration of a new data source into the LLM RAG product, which cut retrieval errors by 10%
    • Wrote Python scripts to automate data ingestion and cut processing time by 80%
    • Managed requirements across the data science and engineering teams
  • Program Manager Intern at Amazon

    July 2023 to December 2023

    I led the go-to-market strategy for a new merchant fulfilment network feature in Singapore, working with Seller Operations and Logistics.

    • Grew the seller base by 25%, or more than 1,000 sellers, and brought in over $100K in revenue in the first quarter
    • Studied how our fulfilment partners actually operated, then changed the process to reach first-day pickup rates above 99% and cut delivery time by 10%
    • Wrote the requirements for an inbound defects tool projected to save more than $5,000 a year
  • Product Data Analyst Intern at Sephora (LVMH)

    January 2023 to June 2023

    I did reporting and analytics for product and technology teams around Asia, on an app with more than 10 million monthly users in Southeast Asia.

    • Designed the reporting setup and built more than five dashboards in Domo and Python to track KPIs and revenue
    • Built more than ten ETL pipelines on Domo, using SQL on Google BigQuery to process over a terabyte of data a day
  • Platforms Operations Intern at Shopee

    May 2022 to July 2022, first year summer

    I said yes to this one immediately. The work changed daily and the team was spread across several countries, so most of what I learned that summer came from watching how they handled it.

    • Cleaned data with SQL in Salesforce Marketing Cloud
    • Worked with Shopee teams in other countries to deliver CRM campaigns
    • Created and maintained Data Extensions in Salesforce Marketing Cloud
    • Tracked campaign data and found inconsistencies in it
    • Supported EDM testing and UAT
    • Set up data pipelines with SFTP and SFMC

  • Data Analyst Intern at Combine Services

    December 2021, first year winter

    I came back to the firm, this time on enterprise resource planning: working out where the company should put its resources. I looked for trends, flagged anything odd in the data, and built the reports in R Markdown and CSS.

  • Data Analyst Intern at Combine Services

    April 2021 to August 2021

    My first internship in data analytics. I used SQL to get at the database, Power BI to present the data, and Python for charts and cleaning, mostly fixing missing values and fields that had been entered in the wrong format. I analysed employee performance and tracked how clients affected revenue. The director wrote a letter of commendation for the reports.

  • Operations Associate at Google Developer Student Club

    September 2021 to May 2022

    I kept events running, which meant everything from sourcing logistics to keeping the different parties talking to each other. I organised a machine learning workshop for over 50 students, and organised and emceed a hackathon with more than 100 participants.

  • Intelligence Research Specialist at Mindef

    April 2019 to April 2021, mandatory national service

    I handled report generation and unit operations, and led a section of four intelligence research assistants, vetting their reports before submission. I picked up extra data cleaning and analysis work on the side, and built an interactive operations guide that I presented to the formation commander. It was adopted across the unit as the standard procedure. I was named Best Soldier for January 2021 and given a testimonial.
