I collaborate with senior stakeholders, including the bank’s group CIO, to understand business needs and design scalable, cloud-native core banking solutions and Smart Contract frameworks. I provide consulting services for digital transformation projects, resolve technical issues, and offer client training and support. Additionally, I work closely with engineering and product teams to ensure high-quality deliverables, while staying updated with industry trends to drive continuous improvement and innovation. Efficient. Diverse. Multicultural. Singapore is an efficient city known for its rapid growth and constant evolution. Its diverse culture is a melting pot of traditions, offering a rich and inclusive environment. As a global hub, Singapore embraces multiculturalism, fostering a harmonious blend of different ethnicities and traditions, making it an exciting place full of opportunities for those who seek to make a significant impact. Singapore boasts a strong potential for the financial technology (Fintech) industry. Its robust financial sector, supportive regulatory environment, and strategic position as a global financial hub create fertile ground for FinTech innovation. The government’s proactive stance on digital transformation, coupled with a highly skilled workforce and advanced technological infrastructure, further drives growth in this sector. With growing demand for digital banking, blockchain solutions, and other financial innovations, FinTech offers significant opportunities for businesses to thrive and expand. One thing I miss the most is the MBA study trip to Germany, Chile, Japan, and Korea. I look forward to experiencing those immersive cultural and business learning opportunities again, exploring diverse markets, and building international connections, but this time with a focus on applying the insights gained to real-world business challenges.
