Goh Zheng Yang (Xavier)
I am a Computer Science undergraduate from Nanyang Technological University with proven experience in managing a technology start-up in the luxury industry.
Since writing my first code in 2014, I have developed many years of experience from a wide range of personal, professional, and academic projects. These include, but are not limited to web applications, software, database models, optimisation, data analytics, large language models, and artificial intelligence. I love harnessing the power of technology, and I’m always open to opportunities to learn and grow.
A serial technopreneur with roots in the start-up scene, I am also versed in people management, public speaking, creative thinking, problem-solving and major soft skills.
