About

Hi, I'm Walter.

I'm on a career break to work on my own projects. To be honest, it's a bit ironic to call it a "break" since I'm working nights and weekends.

Last year (2024), I learnt how to code and built several apps. BookSlice was my most profitable appβ€”it was supported by Microsoft for Startups, featured in The Straits Times, and placed 2nd on ProductHunt. I also built Malaysia's #1 website for Pengajian Am (ranked #1 on Google), and a travel visa app that received a small investment offer (which my co-founder and I declined).

From 2020 to 2023, I worked as a Product Manager at igloohome, leading teams of engineers and designers (30+ persons) on consumer software and hardware products.

My formal education is in mechanical engineering at NUS and liberal arts at USP.
