Writing about code, technology, and the occasional rabbit hole.

About a month ago I went for HacX 2025, which was a competition that was organised by Microsoft and HTX in collaboration in SUTD. I had a lot of fun during this competition, and I wanted to reflect on what we did and how we did it.
Now that I had the Coder server running, there were 2 main things that I wanted to address to be able to get the full potential out of the deployment.
In year 1.2, we had a data visualisation module named Data Visualisation and Discovery in Ngee Ann. In that module, we got to learn how to visualise vast datasets with Python using numpy, pandas, matplotlib and seaborne, and we got to learn how to learn PowerBI with Power Query and Power Pivot, building on our knowledge of those 2 tools from the fundamentals in data science module the semester prior.
In the very beginning, all I wanted to do was to be able to connect to my Raspberry Pi from anywhere. I found it really cool that I could control it over the same local area network, but I also wanted to be able to control it and use it over the internet.
I am very happy to announce that I am a Year 1 NP Scholarship holder! To say the least, I was definitely not expecting to receive this scholarship, but I am very honoured that I did. I’ll share a bit about that journey and how I got here.
I was on cloud nine when I got accepted into SST. I had lost nearly all my hope when I was rejected from all of my preferred choices of schools for the direct admissions exercise for secondary schools. When my PSLE results came out, I was nearly out of options until I realised that SST was holding a Supplementary Intake Exercise (SIE).
Every journey begins with a single step. Here's mine into the world of blogging — why I decided to start, what I hope to share, and what you can expect from this space.
