Hey, I'm Nigel, a software engineer based in Singapore who likes building thoughtful AI and full-stack products.
I graduated from NUS Computer Science in December 2025, and my recent work has focused on Python features, evaluation tooling, and Model Context Protocol capabilities for an internal data agent at Grab.
I care about product-minded engineering across backend systems, developer tooling, and interfaces that make complex workflows easier to use.
