Background

Builder focused on communities, platforms, and how people connect within them. My path runs from marine engineering at BP through Business Analytics at NUS, into building media, communities, and creator infrastructure.

Autosave grew from a Telegram group into Singapore's most active automotive community — 18,000+ members, 1,000+ event attendees, and brand campaigns with Mercedes-Benz, Shell, Porsche, Volkswagen Group and more. Incubated at NUS Enterprise and Block71.

That taught me the creator economy's biggest gap: brands struggle to trust creators beyond follower counts. That insight is the foundation of Influencees — building the trust and credibility layer the industry is missing.

I also contribute to ROADS.sg, generating 20M+ monthly impressions on road safety across Singapore, working directly with Traffic Police and LTA.
