Product Manager · Singapore

Eight years across cybersecurity, telecom, and AI startups. I take infrastructure most people never see — DNS, carrier networks, on-device LLMs — and turn it into products customers can buy, deploy, and trust.

The route so far

Work down one rail, study down the other — newest at the top. The resolver still comes back when you least expect it.

Learned platform PM on firewall policy management — rebuild, national flagship, market story, redefinition.

education · 2016 – 2018

University of Pittsburgh · MS in Information Science

Information-security concentration — where the security decade began.

Case studies

Six stories, told honestly — decisions, trade-offs, results, and what remained unfinished. They read in order as one career. If you only have time for one:

SecCat: Rebuilding a Carrier Security Product on a Core I Once Built

I inherited a just-launched SMB security product running on a partner's DNS. Eighteen months later it ran on the resolver I had built years earlier — and customers never felt the heart transplant.

Building a Secure DNS from Zero inside a Telecom Giant

An internal innovation mandate, a floating team of about four engineers, and twelve months to turn the internet's phone book into a security product.

Shipping a Bot Library for On-Device AI

A one-time-purchase AI workspace can't win by out-chatting the cloud. I wrote the thesis, engineered the specs, and ran the pipeline that turned it into a shelf of shipped products.

The AI Operating System Behind My Product Work

Seven months of product management where nearly everything downstream of the founder's deals landed on one desk — mine. Hiring my way out wasn't an option, so I built my capacity out of software: skills, scripts, registries, and protocols.

Estha Insight: Conversation Analytics, Built as Research and as Product

My NTU capstone and a working MVP for Estha at once: a two-layer framework that reads chatbot conversations for confusion, quality and knowledge gaps — validated with a cross-model evaluation methodology that reports its own misses.

Four Years in Firewall Policy Management: From Rebuild to Redefinition

My first product line taught me platform PM the long way: rebuild the product, carry a national flagship deployment, write the market story myself, then redefine the product against nine competitors.
