Hey friends, I did my first ever tech conference talk last weekend! ✨

It's about building in public, content creation, and personal branding (even if you're an introvert hehe) ☺️

Code Camp Wellington was such an amazing experience and I got to meet lots of awesome people and reconnect with familiar faces. Best of all – it's free! Thank you so much to the organisers and sponsors who worked tirelessly to make this possible 🥹 www.codecampwellington.nz/

Happy new year everyone!~ 🥳

I hope you are all doing well, happy, healthy, and ready for 2026!

I'm sorry I haven't been creating much long-form content on YouTube in a while, and I do miss it 😭

Anyway, it's a new year! Please let me know what sorts of content you want to see from me! You can leave a comment below or drop it in this form! forms.gle/riVBNyPPUTzBBnkKA

I'm thinking of doing videos about my life as a software engineer (DIML, reflections, insights), building tech projects, and self-improvement & productivity. You can vote for the category you are most interested in~

Also, please suggest ideas on how to connect more with you guys! I started YouTube in 2021 and this channel has grown so much since then, all thanks to you guys who have been supporting my journey 🥹

Thank you so much everyone and let's grow together in 2026 ☺️

Today is the last day of 2025.

I feel like I didn’t create much this year.

I only made one YouTube video and didn’t get to build all the tech projects I wanted to.

But as I reflect on the past year, I realise this year has been one of my most colourful years.

I hit several milestones, explored different areas of tech, attended many work and family events, and travelled to 8 countries!

If there’s one lesson I’ve learnt from 2025, it would be this – time flies. Groundbreaking stuff, I know haha. But as I enter my mid-twenties, this could not be more true. Time will fly past before you know it. So make sure you make time for what’s important. Be intentional with each hour. Make each day count. Because after all, our life is but a sum of our everyday moments.

2025, you have been an amazing year filled with blessings from God. I am so grateful for all the experiences I had and the amount of time I was able to spend with my family and extended family.

See you in 2026 :)

If you had told my younger self that one day, my little ‪@YouTube‬ channel would reach 20K people on the Internet, she wouldn’t have believed you. And yet, here we are 🥹

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me, be it watching my videos, leaving comments, or just following my journey. A special shoutout to the OGs who have been with me since my ‪@redbull‬ Basement University days 🫶

My why for creating content remains the same as it did when I first started - to share my journey as a woman in tech and to document my twenties. And hopefully, through sharing my thoughts and lessons learnt, others may resonate with it and feel inspired in their own journey.

We’re all living our own parallel lives, weaving through the world, and sometimes—just sometimes—our paths cross. I believe that every piece of content I create is like planting a little seed. I never know where it might land, but I hope that when it does, it brings light, encouragement, or maybe even a spark — the same way I was once inspired by women in tech creators as a lost uni student unsure about her future.

Oh and I guess my little channel is not so little anymore hehe 🤭

As a software engineer who spends my 9 - 5 coding SaaS products, this year I want to create a ✨ creative portfolio ✨

If something sparks my curiosity, I will pursue it as a project. Here are some areas I want to explore:
- 3D modelling on Spline
- Data storytelling / data visualisation
- Coding a cozy game
- AI
- Animation

Some other goals are to sharpen my React, JavaScript, and CSS skills and read “The Coding Career Handbook” by ‪@swyxTV‬

Not all these areas involve code, and that's the beauty of it.

My motto is to explore whatever catches your curiosity. If it’s not for you, move on. But if it is, you might have just uncovered a new opportunity!

And most importantly, have fun! :)

What are your goals for 2025? Share them below!

Hello friends~ Recently I had the opportunity to share my story on the ‪@basketsofknowledge‬ podcast, hosted by Prajesh and Tane 😄

I talk about how I went from Health Sciences to Computer Science, being a woman in tech, winning Red Bull Basement University, content creation and more! ✨

The most important lesson I learnt though is how embracing change brought forth growth and new experiences for me. Yes, change is scary, but it unlocked a whole new world of possibilities 🥺 So if you are going through change right now, you got this!!! 💪

You can listen to the podcast episode via the links below, and while you're there, don't forget to check out the many other inspirational stories! 💕

Hello friends~ It's been a while since I made a community post and can you believe we're halfway through 2024?! 🤯

In case you've missed it, here are some videos I've published so far this year 🤩

📝 Cozy study with me video overlooking a Korean palace
🇰🇷 Day in my life as a data analyst intern at a Korean tech company
🤖 Tour of an AI startup in Seoul and Q&A with the founder
👜 What's in my bag as a software engineer

And just last week, I posted a video on why you need a blog and how to code one! Check it out here 😊 https://youtu.be/LrzempwNwyU?si=r1XpZ...

It's been a hectic couple of months, so I'll probably take a break from YouTube for a bit, but don't worry, I'll be back soon!

As always, stay well, stay safe, and I'll see you in the next video 🥰

Happy lunar new year everyone! 新年快乐！✨️🍊

A little life update, I've been spending the past couple of months in Korea and I'll be uploading a video about it next week! Thanks to the Prime Minister's Scholarship for Asia (PMSA) for this opportunity 🥹 ‪@EducationNewZealand‬

I've always wanted to visit Korea so this was a dream come true! I met lots of warm and kind people, visited the most beautiful places, and ate too much delicious food 💕

Here's to wishing everyone the best in 2024! 🥳

PS And yes new dp update ahahah 😆 Got these taken at a self photoshoot studio in Seoul! @odt.mode

Hello friends! What goals do you have this year for your tech journey? 👩🏻‍💻

For me, I have two main goals:
1. Learn about data visualisation / data journalism (eg d3.js, The Pudding, Kontinentalist type stuff) 📊
2. Work on coding projects that combine my hobbies like music and art 🎵🎨

Let me know your goals in the comments so we can keep each other accountable!

Also, if I feel like your goal is something that I could help with, I may make a video about it 🤩

Let's make 2024 our year 🥹
