SUTD student interested in fintech, sends bouldering problems, and lives by one rule: do first, optimise later.
I'm Ariq, a Computer Science student at SUTD in Singapore. My main obsession right now is fintech. I want to build the infrastructure that makes money move faster, smarter, and more transparently.
My philosophy: do first, optimise later. Ship something that works, learn from real-world feedback, then make it fast. It's basically the software equivalent of trying a boulder problem before reading the beta.
When I'm not staring at a compiler error that turns out to be a missing semicolon, you'll find me on a climbing wall, or convincing myself that one more snack and one more hour of sleep is all I need before the deadline.
Hackathon projects, shipped under pressure and refined under caffeine.
A Brainhack project exploring trustworthy digital verification workflows. Built as a fast-moving team project with an emphasis on clarity, usability, and solving a problem that sits close to identity, trust, and financial systems.
A Flutter-based hackathon build created for SUTD, focused on shipping quickly, solving a real problem, and turning rough ideas into a polished prototype under pressure.
Commendation award at PSA Hackathon 2022 Code Sprint (7–14 Oct). Built a fast-turnaround prototype tackling a real logistics challenge under pressure.
Currently in the "do first" phase. Check back soon, or better yet, reach out if you want to build something together.
Got a project idea, a hackathon team spot, or just want to send memes? I'm here.
Based in Singapore
Open to fintech internships, cool hackathon collab requests, and the occasional debugging session.
