Hello.
Edric here.
I'm currently working with KrASIA, a tech media company and the editorial arm of 36Kr Global.
We cover business and tech developments in the Asia Pacific, focusing on innovation that's taking place in and between China and the rest of the region.
☕️ Ping me for a coffee chat if you have an interesting story to tell!

Project Lead • IN:HERITAGE (2021)
I led a team of four for a social entrepreneurship project, proposed to and accepted by the committee of the NUS Resilience & Growth (R&G) Innovation Challenge.
We secured a S$50K grant to achieve key deliverables including liaisons with over ten stakeholders to (in)validate our concept and the development of a low-code prototype using Airtable, Memberstack, Webflow, and Zapier.
A partly functional version of the prototype lives here.
Education & Social Media Executive • ALBA Singapore (2020)
I was one of the first hires for the Singapore arm of German conglomerate ALBA Group after it secured its first commercial deal in the country. I oversaw the production of collaterals used for marketing and business development purposes, including brochures, infographics, mockups, slide decks, among others.
I also executed various activation tactics for the company's STEP UP Sustainability initiative. Check out one of my works here.
Communications Intern • NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (2018)
