Hello, and thanks for stopping by.

I’m a developer, preservationist, and filmmaker based in Chicago.

Currently, I’m the Digital Preservation Specialist at the University of Chicago, where I contribute to UChicagoNode, an integrated digital collections platform. I also co-chair the IIIF Audio/Video Community Group.

I began my career in film and television as a digital imaging technician and camera assistant , then moved into moving image preservation after learning that numerous films from Singapore’s Golden Age had been lost. My work now focuses on computational approaches to digital preservation and open access.

I've worked with the Asian Film Archive, CUNY TV, and the J. Paul Getty Trust (Getty Museum), and trained at organizations including the Internet Archive and New York Public Library. I hold an M.A. in Moving Image Archiving & Preservation from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Originally from Singapore, I enjoy cycling, sailing, and freshly baked bread.
