With iNTUition’s fourth iteration happening soon and being my final year in college, I thought it would be a good idea to document how iNTUition began and share how we started Nanyang Technological University’s only 24-hour hackathon and one of Singapore’s largest student hackathons.

So, yesterday marked the end of my first week as a Software Engineering Intern at Google Singapore and I couldn’t be more excited about the next three months I’ll be spending here!

In the field of software development, it seems almost necessary to stay up-to-date with the latest trends, technologies and even programming languages in order to take advantage of their benefits and stay ahead of the competition. This is especially true in web development, where it seems like a shiny new JavaScript framework is released every other week. Following from this, I decided to pick up Vue.js over the weekend in order to learn something new and brush up my web development skills before my upcoming internship.

I spent the last few days traveling to East Java, Indonesia with my family to visit the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The national park is centered around Mt. Bromo or Gunung Bromo (in Bahasa Indonesia), an active volcano near the cities of Malang and Surabaya.

I recently gave a talk on getting quality internships in the tech industry as part of NTU Open Source Society’s TGIFHacks. My slide deck from the talk is below.
