Hi, I’m Joe.

I’m a software engineer on the commodities desk at Qube Research & Technologies. I work on data systems, trading tools, and the interfaces that bring them together.

A little about me

I’m studying Computer Science at NUS, focusing on parallel computing and database systems.

My work has taken me through trading systems, data engineering, and software for community organisations. Outside of work, I’ve helped build a patient management system for Project Sa’bai and contributed to Source Academy.
