I'm a serial entrepreneur and former computer science researcher. I've spent the last decade building consumer technology companies across Southeast Asia, and now I'm building the infrastructure layer for the agentic economy.
I believe the next phase of the internet is the Web of Agents — where AI agents act on users' behalf to discover, negotiate, and transact. The neutral exchange layer connecting agents to merchants will be foundational infrastructure for this shift. That's what I'm building at VertexFlow.
Currently founding VertexFlow, the neutral exchange layer for agentic commerce. Previously co-founded Advance Intelligence Group ($500M+ raised from SoftBank Vision Fund, Warburg Pincus) and led Atome as founding CEO — Southeast Asia's leading consumer fintech with 30M+ customers. Earlier: founded Nestia (Singapore's #1 lifestyle app, acquired); tenured Associate Professor of Computer Science at NTU Singapore. PhD, Computer Science, University of Washington.
