Hi! I’m Andre 👋
I’m a second year Computer Science student at NUS and currently staying in Tembusu College. I enjoy learning emerging trends and technologies and all things cybersecurity related.
I am currently continuing a part-time internship with HydraX as a Cybersecurity & Technology Intern and assisting OurCodeLab with developing Full-Stack applications and improving their suite of cybersecurity services offered.
I love to travel and take any opportunity I can to explore different parts of the world. Outside of travelling, I enjoy cooking, gaming, volleyball, boxing and most importantly, good food.
When I’m Not At The Computer
Working Out
I strongly believe in keeping a healthy and balanced lifestyle to support my love of eating good food. I enjoy heading to the gym to support my love of eating good food and picked up boxing and volleyball to keep myself active in school.
Adventures
I love travelling and exploring different parts of the world. Highlights from the past year are when I visited a competitive airsoft arena in Bangkok, obtained my Advanced Open Water diving certification in Cebu with the Thresher Sharks, visited the mountains in Shanghai and travelled to Italy for the European Cybersecurity Challenge 2024.
Gaming
Yes, I do realize I’m on the computer while I game as well. I love playing video games competitively and am currently into VALORANT where I play for the NUS eSports team. I’ve always been passionate about gaming and have played games such as League of Legends, CSGO and Fortnite at a high level.
