The writer

I am Victor, a software engineer based in Singapore, a country that is very likely to be smaller than the city you are staying in. Armed with nothing but a computer science degree from Nanyang Technological University , I do my best to stay afloat in this industry.

Interests

During my student days, I have had the pleasure of working on undergraduate research projects that allowed me to explore areas in Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval and Data Mining. These are fun subjects that I occasionally spend time on for my own personal projects.

Scheme (or to be more accurate, Racket) was my first foray into functional programming and it has sparked a little revolution within me. While I still work with Python on a daily basis at work, I have begun to learn Clojure and hope to be able to use it more frequently once I have mastered the basics.

Take away my laptop and you will find me stuck with one of my game consoles: either handhelds or TV ones. A short list of consoles I currently play with:

• Playstation 3
• Playstation Vita
• Nintendo 3DS
