Entrepreneur, Engineer and Medical Doctor — and relentless optimist: I may not wear a cape, but as an Emergency Physician and the founder of HeHealth, I step in when people are at their most vulnerable. Three years ago, a close friend nearly took his own life—crushed by the stigma surrounding STIs. Every day, over a million people contract an STI, yet it remains one of the most silenced public health crises. That moment sparked a wild, almost unthinkable idea: I founded HeHealth—a decentralized, digital diagnostics platform for infectious diseases, starting with STIs. Our mission? To tackle one of the world’s most stigmatized and underserved health problems, head-on. “Anything new or innovative, prepare to be misunderstood.” — Jeff Bezos Our early days were a storm: global media backlash painted us as reckless, governments launched legal threats, half our team walked away, and I sold my house to keep the company alive. We ran out of money more times than I can count—but each setback only fueled our resolve. “True innovation requires taking risks and being willing to fail.” — Jensen Huang Today, HeHealth has served over half a million people and powers government programs around the world—bringing life-saving detection to millions and sparking the largest global conversation on AI and sexual health. As an AI engineer, I design and build my own algorithms from the ground up—yes, a doctor who codes. Now, with multiple technology patents to my name, some even call me “the guy who monetized d*ck pics.” I previously served as a Consultant Emergency Physician with SingHealth at Sengkang General Hospital—leading a team treating over 8,000 pediatric emergencies annually. Now, I continue as a Visiting Consultant Physician at SKH and a guest lecturer at universities worldwide, dedicating 10% of my time to clinical and academic work. When I’m not charting the future of digital diagnostics, you’ll find me diving with sharks or hiking in remote mountains—always chasing new perspectives. I’ll stumble, I’ll fall, but I’ll keep pushing upward and forward. Let’s embrace the hard road together—our greatest impact lies just ahead.
