My Journey
Mission Statement
Empowering organizations to unlock the full potential of their data through purpose-driven product innovation, AI-powered insights, and enterprise-scale intelligence platforms.
With 15+ years across fintech, mobility, retail, and SaaS, I combine deep technical expertise with strategic leadership to solve complex business problems and deliver scalable value—driven by curiosity, fueled by data, and centered around impact.
From launching secure enterprise platforms to leading AI and data analytics initiatives at a Fortune 100 bank, my journey has been defined by building, scaling, and transforming digital products that create measurable business impact.
At U.S. Bank, I lead enterprise-wide business intelligence and data strategies that power decision-making across Payments Services. I oversee a comprehensive BI ecosystem—data marts, reporting platforms, and semantic models—designed as the single source of truth across customer, partner, and product domains. I drive data governance, foster enterprise adoption, and collaborate closely with Data Science and Marketing to optimize pricing models and Customer Lifetime Value analytics.
We're also advancing artificial intelligence capabilities for deeper, real-time data interpretation, enabling interactive visualizations and decision intelligence frameworks that turn data into strategic action.
Born and raised in Singapore, I moved to Atlanta to study Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech. That leap introduced me to the world of ethical hacking, applied research, and start-up grit—experiences that still shape how I lead product and data initiatives today. I’ve thrived in both fast-paced startups and large-scale enterprise environments, finding my sweet spot where strategy, innovation, and technology intersect.
What I Build & Why
From predictive analytics to secure mobile SDKs and connected IoT ecosystems, I have always gravitated toward solving real-world problems through tech-enabled platforms. Some of my recent focus areas:
AI-augmented BI platforms for enterprise reporting and decisioning
Rules Engine & Incident Management tools tailored for SMBs
BLE & LoRa IoT sensor platforms for asset tracking in commercial spaces
Digital Experience Layering for retail and restaurant engagement via beacon technologies
Community & Mentorship
I love giving back. Whether it's mentoring entrepreneurs at Atlanta Tech Village, participating in Startup Weekend and AngelHack, or advising early-stage founders through platforms like Pullup—I’m passionate about helping others grow, just as I was helped.
