I am interested in economics, a field whose definition is still in flux. I currently define it as the study of human relations in, around, and despite modern capitalist systems [see changelog]. This philosophy informs my work, research, and creative writing.
In 2022, I obtained a masters degree in Quantitative Economics from the National University of Singapore. I previously graduated summa cum laude from Yale-NUS College, where I grew to love mathematics, statistics, and barbershop singing.
In 2017, I created a fantasy/sci-fi graphic novel called Doorkeeper together with Ethan Chua and a team of fantastic Filipino artists — read it here.
At present, I build AI and data platforms with Thinking Machines, design board games with Mosquito Games, and write games with Andas Productions.
