7.26m. Broke a 20-year-old national schools record, 2022

1/3

ABOUT

Life in the past 5 years.

  1. Age 18 · The track

    Broke a 20-year-old national schools long jump record. At my peak I was 6th on Singapore’s all-time list for long jump and 8th for high jump, after training for it my whole life.

  2. Age 19 · Sales

    Took up a sales job, built and trained my own small door-to-door team, and became the company’s top closer, until national service called.

  3. National service · AI takes off

    While serving, I watched AI change what one person could build, so I taught myself to code and started shipping: my first engineering internship, then hackathons, then real products.

  4. Now · Build and grow

    Studying CS at SUTD, building AI agents as a software engineer, and running rankrhq.com, my marketing agency that scales DTC, e-commerce, B2B, B2C and philanthropic brands.
