I bring together three core capabilities: commercialization, product, and technology. I design user-centric products, lead engineering teams, and drive business outcomes by aligning technical vision with market needs and strategic goals.
Fun fact: "Calvin" isn't my birth name - it's an adopted name I chose in my journey into adulthood, inspired by Calvin and Hobbes. Like the character, I believe in asking "why?", preserving curiosity, and finding meaning in the absurd. Curiosity isn't just a trait; it's a superpower that keeps us learning, questioning, and discovering new possibilities. It's a reminder to stay curious, stay honest, and keep exploring - especially when the path forward isn't obvious.
National University of Singapore (NUS) IT

Leading a large technology organization focused on applications, architecture, and technology initiatives. I guide the Enterprise Architecture team, the Data Engineering team, the App Development team, the Integration team, and the Inter-Reality team.
I'm driving AI SDLC transformation, mentoring the Data Engineering team to democratize university-wide data, and spearheading Machine Learning, AI applications, and AI Agent use cases across NUS.
Every day brings new questions to explore and problems to solve - exactly where curiosity thrives.
Over the past two decades, I've led product and engineering teams across various industries - from climate tech and renewable energy to blockchain and IoT. I've built teams from the ground up, secured significant funding, and delivered enterprise-scale solutions that drive business value.
My cross-cultural leadership experience spans Vietnam, Indonesia, China, and stints in the US, giving me a deep appreciation for diverse perspectives and approaches to problem-solving across different markets and cultures.
My experience spans B2B SaaS, enterprise applications, data platforms, and cloud-native architectures. What keeps me going? That same curiosity - asking "what if?" and "how might we?" - which drives me to build scalable systems, foster team growth, and create products that solve real problems.
I'm always interested in conversations about AI transformation, product strategy, and bringing technology to market. Whether you're working on similar challenges, exploring collaboration opportunities, or just want to exchange ideas - LinkedIn is the best place to reach me.
You can also explore my code on GitHub - a mix of learning experiments, AI projects, and professional work. Many of these projects started with a simple question: "I wonder what happens if..."
