My career journey spans across 3 culturally and politically diverse countries: Singapore, New Zealand and United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi), with experiences in a private consultancy firm, local, district and national transport agencies. I have also travelled extensively to Europe, Asia, Pacific and the USA and take keen interest in their transport systems. As a transport design specialist, I am passionate about creating balance in road safe and traffic efficiency for the community by leveraging on data especially in Geo-spatial Information Science (GIS). My engineers, consultants and government agencies come to me to co-create traffic engineering solutions to complex problems. As Deputy Director of Traffic Scheme Design Development Division, I lead a team of 75 staff in regulating, designing and optimising traffic and road safety network in Singapore. One of my key team projects is the nation-wide programme for modifying over 1200 signalised junctions to be fully controlled with Red-Amber-Green (RAG) arrows. Another project involved retrofitting over 300 signalised pedestrian crossings in 10 town centres for the visually impaired to enable them to tap their concession cards on the push buttons to activate a crossing tone. Expanding their mobility range and choices. Outside of professional life, I enjoy drawing, photography, swimming, and hiking. Specialties: project management, traffic engineering design, traffic signal design, traffic impact assessment, road safety, crash reduction studies, public transport infrastructure, school travel plan, LATM and GIS.
