Saluton, Mondo!
Am I Shaun? Nope, I’m Sean! I graduated from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) in 2024 with a B.Eng in Computer Science and Design. I have a keen interest in developing robust digital frameworks and enjoy designing backend services and middleware. I am also well-versed in the applications of artificial intelligence, including natural language processing and computer vision.

Knight Probability in Chessboard
Given an $n \times n$ chessboard, a knight on square $(r, c)$ attempts to make $k$ moves.

As the choice of programming language was left to the participants, I decided to use Ruby on Rails to familiarise myself with programming in Ruby. The API was to be containerised using Docker for validation and deployment.

The Case for Alternative Meats
A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet. Yet, many would claim that mock meats should not be named as such, calling it a case of false advertisement. From tofurkey to sashimi alternatives, and even plant-based faux meat patties, should these products not be recognised as “meats” and why should such an issue raise such opposition in the first place?
