Google Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd.

Based in Singapore, I am currently building the startup business for Google Cloud in Asia Pacific. I completed my MSc in Computer Science from the University of St Andrews as a Chevening scholar in 2022, where my research focused on building a learning management system (LMS) for use within the informal family learning context to help older adults enhance their digital literacy. Prior to re-entering academia, I was a proud Amazonian at Amazon Web Services responsible for building startup communities and managing scale programs across South East Asia. I completed my undergraduate degree at New York University (NYU) in 2016, where I pursued double major in journalism and political science with a minor in computer science & math.

I am Indian in origin and Indonesian by nationality but I have also lived in the U.S., UAE, Philippines, UK, and Singapore. Beyond the professional realm, I am dangerous when bored. I spend my fleeting spare time experimenting with art mediums, contorting my body into a pretzel as a yoga practitioner and facilitator, devouring books, traveling the world solo, or binge watching The Office over coffee ice cream. I’m also a brain dump for pick-up lines and poor jokes; drop me a note if you need help to fill the awkward silences in between social conversations.
