I come from a small dot on the world map, a place called Singapore. But I hope to do big things in the future.
I am very interested in startups and technology which is why I am currently pursuing an internship at a pre-alpha start up called Race Nomad. Over there, I’ve been exposed to a challenging environment that pushes me to be improve every single day. I also have experience acquiring sponsors, having done it for two full years for my university. My strength lies in marketing but I am a fast learner and am open to new challenges.
But beyond work and academics, I play sports, I act and I travel as much as my bank account allows me to. I am an explorer, an optimist and a man ready to embrace what the world throws at him, good or bad, and make the most out of it.

Why Me?
Collaborative — I love talking and working with people. I have high regard for teamwork and my best ideas tend to surface when interacting with people. I enjoy helping others where I am able to and at the same time open to critique and advice from others for self-improvement.
Responsible — I am never one to shirk away responsibilities. I ensure that work I am responsible for is done and done well. I never miss deadlines and I tend to rise to the occasion when called upon.
Multi-Tasking — I am able to balance multiple competing priorities and ensure that all of them are appropriately seen to. My excellent time-management helps me to maintain a good work-life balance which then keeps me continuously motivated.
Hands-On — I am ready to get down and do the necessary work even it it means getting dirty or sweaty. Less talking more doing. I am eager and I value the idea of experiential learning.
Communication — I am of the opinion that a good points not communicated effectively might as well be a bad one. I pride myself on my ability to convey my thoughts and opinions clearly and concisely to minimize unecessary misunderstandings or information lapse.
“Bryan is very hardworking and more importantly he gets things done. We do not have to tell him how to do a particular task — just what to do and he always impresses us with his high quality output.”
