I work as a Research Scientist at Zoom and based in Singapore. Before Zoom, I was a machine translation research scientist at Rakuten. I am a PhD graduate in natural language processing (NLP) from National University of Singapore (NUS). I was a recipient of the ISEP Scholarship (formerly called NGS scholarship).

My areas of expertise include natural language processing, machine translation, speech processing, and general machine learning and AI ops.
