Profile photo of Walter

Hi, I'm Walter!

Right now, I'm on sabbatical working on personal projects. My current focus is on creating tools to help people get good sleep.

In 2024, I launched and built VisaHacks, a tool that simplifies checking visa requirements for Indian passport holders.

From 2020 to 2023, I worked as a Product Manager at igloohome, where I led the launch of software for the Bridge (Bluetooth/WiFi gateway), the Padlock 2 (world's toughest smart padlock), the igloohome API (enterprise API product), and various other smart devices.

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