Web Ninja
Singapore
I am a Web Ninja, who is constantly seeking to be at the bleeding edge of web technologies and trends.
I love to create web applications that are beautiful and functional, and is ever-interested in creating the next big thing that will change people's lives.
I am currently with Wego.com, designing and building a web analytics solution from ground-up (single-handedly) with Ruby on Rails.
As I discovered, every aspect of web analytics is an art and non-trivial, be it tracking or reporting. Ask me more about it!
Frequently, I am also involved in general web development of Wego.com, and managing and optimization of MySQL databases.
In addition, as I am an avid user of social networks, I helped to start Wego.com endeavours on these networks.
Prior to my start-up role, I was a Database Administrator with IBM Singapore where I managed Oracle 8i, 9i, and 10g, and MySQL 5.0 databases.
I graduated in 2006 with 2nd Upper Honours in Computer Science from National University of Singapore.
