I am Gabriel Yang. Computer Science Junior in the National University of Singapore.
Growth fuels me as I prize stepping beyond comfort zones and embracing transformative experiences. Education earns you a living, but personal development earns you a lifetime. I prioritize character development as much as technical aptitude as I've realized that an organization's true assets are its people.
I'm driven by the tangible positive impact I make and I am interested in building technology that can genuinely help people who are less privileged than me. Everything that I am doing serves to fulfill that goal.
