My mission is to empower you with tools and resources to help increase your clarity & confidence in your architectural career.

Because I was once a clueless archi grad entering an industry where things are run very differently from school.

Fast forward 5 years, I have been through the grind of real building projects from design to construction and completion.

I have learned so many concepts, finetuned my workflows and became clear and confident in my work as a young architect.

Through this platform, I aim to share knowledge and am working on products and services that will accelerate your learning.

What I am working on

My day job is currently a Project Architect at Surbana Jurong, running public housing projects, where I am involved in coordination, authority submissions, site inspections and seeing to completion.

When I have time, I host a podcast called Architecture Siol! Podcast where I chat with fellow Architects to discover their stories, issues overcome, opportunities seized and lessons learnt through their architectural journey.

I post videos on my Youtube Channel where I share tutorial videos and insights on architecture practice.

I also run an open source wiki called ARCHLOGBOOK, where I share architecture practice information in a structured manner for easy learning.

Lastly, I have ebooks and a mentoring service (limited slots) that are available for purchase.

Features & Recognitions

I have had the privilege of working with various organisations and individuals who are passionate to serve the architectural community.

In 2023, I was involved in the Singapore Institute of Architects Young Architects League (SIA-YAL), where I helped to create the platform for the sharing of ideas and resources via telegram groups, channels and file sharing sites.

In 2024, I was conferred the Construction Resilience Award from Housing and Development Board. This award was to recognition of project teams who pushed through during the COVID period.
