Abilities

As an experienced professional, I’ve held diverse roles in both the financial and technology sectors. My passion involves assisting international businesses, including HSBC and multinational financial services clients at Deloitte, with their digital transformation initiatives. Specifically, I focus on optimizing critical systems such as core banking and global trade finance platforms.

Aspiring to be an all-rounded fintech practitioner, I combine my business analytical and technical skills gained during university with a keen interest in project management. My goal is to drive projects and businesses to success.

Beyond corporate realms, I volunteered as a Project Manager at StarUp Wonders, developing e-commerce websites and organizing impactful activities for youth with intellectual disabilities. My passion lies in leveraging technology to create meaningful solutions that positively impact both business and community.
