🌾I am wrapping up my role as Product Lead (non co-founding employee #1) at AgriG8

I’m responsible for driving the pilot(s), and I take charge of our products as we build them from 0 to 1. I lead a team of designers and work closely with my software lead and the executive team. We’re building up much needed financial infrastructure for unbanked rice farmers in SEA and beyond, and opening the gate to enabling carbon credit and sustainability-linked loans in the sector.

🛠️ I also taught at the NUS Institute for Engineering Leadership

Frugal Innovation

The Frugal Innovation module is all about learning how to create more value with less. Frugal innovation avoids over-engineering by adopting a "good-enough" technology approach to meet the needs for an identified market constrained in different ways such as requiring reduced cost or addressing unique usability or societal considerations.
