about
I'm Kenneth, a backend software engineer at TikTok, based in Singapore. I recently graduated in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore.
Some of my past experiences include:
- A software engineer internship at ByteDance.
- A software developer internship at Autodesk.
- A student mentor for a software engineering course at NUS.
- A software engineering internship at the Home Team Science & Technology Agency.
- A teaching assistant for a programming methodology course at NUS.
- An exchange student at Arizona State University.
I'm passionate about contributing to open-source software which I use, including:
- NUSMods, a college course catalogue and timetable scheduler.
- archinstall, a guided Arch Linux installer used to simplify its installation.
- TEAMMATES, an online feedback management system for education.
Whenever I'm not too sleep deprived and have gaps of free time, I spend that time maintaining my collection of unreasonably expensive keyboards and possibly building new ones to add to my collection.
I'm also somewhat of a Thinkpad enthusiast, but I only have a Thinkpad T480s in my collection as of now. I'm currently scouring eBay and Carousell for Thinkpads made in the '90s.
