I'm a Singaporean geographer and interdisciplinary technologist exploring urban form, geopolitics, and digital mapping. My work blends qualitative social science with quantitative geospatial methods to understand how city forms evolve across Global Cities, with a strong emphasis on open data, open-source workflows, and public-facing spatial storytelling. Currently pursuing a PhD (on pause) at the University of Strathclyde, I’m developing open-source workflows and web visualisations to democratise spatial datasets and communicate research insights on urban resilience, governance, and policy design. I enjoy teaching, ethnographic fieldwork, and bridging disciplines to deliver impactful, accessible analyses.…I'm a Singaporean geographer and interdisciplinary technologist exploring urban form, geopolitics, and digital mapping.
