Bio

About

I’m an impact-driven social technologist who is keen on exploring emerging technologies and markets within Southeast Asia. I currently work part-time at AIPO’s startup incubator arm, Ateneo BlueNest, as a Business Development Specialist. Outside of work, I’m building the tech and outreach strategy for Patch — a mobile-first platform gamifying engagement in circular fashion. I’m also fundraising for Condor Camp’s Southeast Asian iteration this 2024. I care about AI safety, improving institutional decision-making, and sustainable consumption. If you care about the same things, feel free to connect with me!
