About Me
Welcome! I'm Hans, a final-year Computer Science (RTIS) student from Singapore, currently interning as a Software Engineer at GovTech Singapore. I'm completing my degree jointly offered by the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and DigiPen Institute of Technology, and expect to graduate in April 2026!
Back in 2020, I graduated with a Diploma in Business Engineering. But my experience as a former professional League of Legends player made me realize I wanted to build things I was truly passionate about. In 2022, I transitioned into Computer Science to pursue that passion.
In 2023, I interned at Pfizer, where I witnessed how technology and data science shape the pharmaceutical world. It showed me how tech can drive impact far beyond entertainment and broadened my career outlook.
Outside of class, I’ve taken on leadership roles as Tech Lead and External Development Lead at Google Developer Student Clubs (GDSC) and served as a Student Ambassador for SIT. These roles strengthened my skills in software, leadership, and cross-team collaboration.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, exercising, and learning piano. If you're into books, I highly recommend Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond—a powerful exploration of systemic poverty in the U.S.
