I am currently 29 and live in Sunnyvale, California (USA).
I was a year student at NUS in the Engineering Science Programme with a major in Computational Engineering Science.

Currently i work as a product manager, with experience in the telecommunications, e-commerce and content creation industries.

I also have a great interest in world issues such as poverty, entrepreneurship and human psychology, simply because they are prevalent issues and will affect us at some point in our lives, whether we like it or not.

I want to meet people from different backgrounds, so I am currently in the process of learning Swedish. My goal is to master at least one language from the developing and developed worlds so that I will be able to be a link between the two and help both parties benefit from being able to interact with and understand each other.

Currently, I speak English, Mandarin, a little Swedish and Vietnamese.

I would be stoked to have the opportunity to be able to participate in a humanitarian effort because I believe that as a priviledged citizen in a developed country, I should be responsible for helping the less-fortunate find an equal footing on this planet.
