Events Attended
These are some of the events I have attended by myself or with a group of friends to further learn and develop multiple aspects of my knowledge and skill sets, from trying out entrepreneurship and creating a start-up to participating in voluntary work to help educate the elderly.

SP Batey Hackathon
Fresko App
Description:
During my semester break in September 2024, I participated in the Singapore Polytechnic Batey Hackathon, focusing on the entrepreneurship for start ups created by students, allowing them to further propel and market their business to other
like-minded individuals. My team, Zenith Technologies, created the Fresko app, which aims to reduce food wastage by tracking food expiry dates and providing notifications and recipe suggestions for food that is near expiry. This idea secured us a place in the grand finals of this hackathon.
