About Me

Hello, I’m Adam and currently pursuing my "O" Level in School of Science & Technology in Singapore. I am a Maths Olympian, as well as Oxford University Computing Challenge Gold Medalist, and also a certified SWIFT developer.

I enjoy challenging myself and exploring new knowledge. I represented SST and win awards at both National and Global events. These competitions helped to sharpen my critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It also motivates me to do my own research to deepen my knowledge and understanding of each subject. I aspire to incorporate my computing knowledge and what I learned in STEM to solve real life problems.

My Experience

Senior Student Leader

As the Class Vice-Chairperson and Peer Support Leader in school, I organised the Orientation Camp and Teacher’s Day concert and was a role model with exemplary character to my peers.

School of Science & Technology2019-Present

Scientist in Schools

A 9 month attachment where i got to work alongside with some of the best scientist in A*Star. During the attachment, I learnt how to use python to code graphic user interfaces, and how to read data to plot graphs and smoothen graphs using python. Our project focused on creating a software program that processes hyperspectral image data cameras to take in, and process the data and thereafter, allow the software to make decisions and perform operations.

Internship with A*STAR2021 - 2022

Kibo Robot Programming Challenge

The Kibo Robot Programming Challenge is an educational program in which students solve various problems by programming free-flying robots (Astrobee and Int-Ball) in the International Space Station (ISS).

Participant2021 - 2022

Emerging Tech x Values-in-Action

I participated in this initiative from IMDA to learn more about Artificial Intelligence (A.I), Decentralized Technology and Social Robotics. Through this programme, i have a foundational understanding of A.I andits impact on their daily tasks.

International Space Challenge 2021

The International Space Challenge (ISC) is one of the few platforms that connects young minds across the globe with industry experts, to nurture interest in space technology and its applications. It taps into the creativity of young minds to find new solutions and create a pathway for future commercialisation of these ideas.

Started in 2007 as the Singapore Space Challenge (SSC), it was a national space design competition to challenge student teams to leverage space technology.

Computational and Algorithmic Thinking 2021

The Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) competition is a one-hour problem-solving competition designed to encourage student curiosity and promote multiple modes of thinking. The competition helps identify students’ computer programming potential and encourage students to solve real-world problems.

Bronze Award Winner (International Event)2021

Design Thinking with Robotics and Computational Thinking

Design Thinking with Robotics and Computational Thinking International Competition (DrCT) is an international collaboration with the world’s leading CT education expert, Professor Valentina Dagiene, Founder of Bebras International Challenge and various countries running the National Olympiads for Informatics (NOI) to close the gap between introductory IT Competitions to the challenging NOI competition.

Bronze Award Winner2021

#Startathon Junior

#startathon Junior is a two-day competition that aims to instigate creative thought in entrepreneurship and value creation. Participants will apply their entrepreneurial skills and pit their wits against other peers in this intense and exciting innovation nation-wide event organised for young coders, dealers, makers, designers and emphatisers to rapidly ideate, prototype and validate their business ideas.

Merit Award Winner2021

Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad

SASMO is a math olympiad contest that stretches not only the brightest students but is aimed at instilling confidence for all students. The contest is designed in a way to make every student love Math again. SASMO contest fits nicely into the school curriculum with a high focus on non routine problem sums.

Bronze Award Winner2021

Oxford University Computing Challenge

The Oxford University Computing Challenge is an invitation event which aims to encourage students who have achieved a top 10% score in the UK Bebras Challenge to develop their skills further and produce programmed solutions to computational thinking problems.

Gold Award Winner (Challenge Round)2020

Computing and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT)

The Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) competition is a one-hour problem-solving competition designed to encourage student curiosity and promote multiple modes of thinking. The competition helps identify students’ computer programming potential and encourage students to solve real-world problems.

RP-CSA Youth Cyber Exploration Programme 2020

The YCEP is an exciting cybersecurity bootcamp specially designed to get students excited about their journey towards a cybersecurity career. YCEP was launched in 2018 and is organised by the five local polytechnics, Cyber Youth Singapore and supported by CSA. Being among the top students in YCEP scores, my team were selected to pit our skills against other teams in the Central Capture-the-Flag (CTF) Competition.

Participant2020

Swift Accelerator Programme

The Swift Accelerator Programme is an intensive talent development programme supported by Apple and IMDA for secondary school students with an interest and aptitude for app development and computational thinking. Over 8 months, participants learn to code in Swift, and apply story-telling and design thinking principles to design, build, and release an iOS app of their own.

Certificate of Achievement2020

Australian Mathematics Competition

The AMC is an engaging 30-problem competition that demonstrates the importance and relevance of mathematics in students’ everyday lives; Australia’s leading educators and academics, with a deep understanding of our national curriculum standards, actively design the unique AMC problems each year.

Silver Award Winner2019

Singapore and Asian Schools Mathematical Olympiad

SASMO is a math olympiad contest that stretches not only the brightest students but is aimed at instilling confidence for all students.

The contest is designed in a way to make every student love Math again. SASMO contest fits nicely into the school curriculum with a high focus on non routine problem sums.

Silver Award Winner2019

Australian Informatics Olympiad

The AIO is an competition for students across Australia and International to demonstrate advanced problem-solving and computer programming skills. They will use problem-solving skills and algorithmic thinking to come up with strategies for solving problems, and programming skills to turn these strategies into code. The questions cover a range of difficulty, challenging students of all skill levels. This has been held since 1989 and is the second largest of the scientific Olympiads, with about 80 countries participating.

Aspiring Developer who wish to pursue a career in Cyber Security and Digital Forensic.

I played Capture The Flag in the Youth Cyber Exploration Programme, which got me excited finding ways to uncover the flags in text files, pictures, and audio files. It was challenging just like my favourite childhood game Police and Thief which sends my adrenaline high solving complex problems and looking for clues. I aspire to be a cybersecurity specialist as I get to face new challenges everyday and be exposed to multitudes of new people, situations, and opportunities.
