Hi! This is Ze Dong.

I am currently a Full-time National Serviceman, entering university to study Computer Science in 2027! I discovered my passion for programming from an online course, and it has been one of my pursuits since then.

Having been in my school's Infocomm Club, I have had a variety of fun experiences, building interest and skills. Furthermore, I have developed a keen interest in research. I take joy in the whole process, learning more, developing, and contributing to different fields through my various projects!

There is still much more for me to discover, and I look forward to all the opportunities I get. My various projects and leadership experiences have moulded me by working with many different people, building my critical-thinking, teamwork and communication skills. However, I continue to strive to grow in all these soft skills and technical knowledge to be a better learner and leader.
