About Me¶
🐧 The Penguin Philosophy¶
I'm a pastor-engineer, a neurodivergent creator, and a faith-tech researcher. My brain is a browser with way too many tabs open: systems programming, pastoral care, user experience design, AI ethics, and a deep desire to support the ADHD, AuDHD, and ASD communities I'm a part of.
The Metaphor¶
Penguins are a bit awkward on land, with a waddle that seems inefficient and rigid. Yet, in their element—the water—they are sleek, agile, and incredibly powerful. That's what being neurodivergent feels like to me.
In a world built for neurotypical minds, I often feel like I'm waddling. But when I find my element, my hyperfocus kicks in, and I can dive deep into complex worlds of code, theology, and design.
My Journey — From Code to Calling¶
From teen hacker in 1980s Singapore to tech founder and now faith-driven AI builder, my life has been a looping algorithm of reinvention.
It began at age 15, coding in BASIC on a clunky screen, discovering that problems weren't walls but puzzles to reframe. In the '90s, I bootstrapped R&D teams, engineered viral growth that took companies from hundreds to millions of users, and learned that leadership was just another form of debugging — of people.
Then came the deeper rewrite: I traded IPOs for ministry, code for community. As a pastor, I found the same logic of systems applies to the soul — empathy scales, too.
Now, with AI reshaping the world, I've merged both worlds again: faith, neurodiversity, and generative tech. I build tools that empower the differently wired, the overlooked, the creative — those whose minds don't fit the mold.
🐧 Still waddling forward, one adaptive commit at a time.

⚡ Fun Fact¶
Coding since 15 turned my "inflexible penguin waddle" into adaptive problem-solving. Now I treat AI as a hyperfocus sidekick, transforming chaos into creative sprints.
Being a neurodivergent pastor-engineer in the age of AI feels like I've finally found my element. The water. AI hasn't "cured" my ADHD. The symphony in my head is just as loud. But now, I have a conductor's baton.
