Hey, I'm Royce. 👋
I'm a backend engineer in Singapore. 🇸🇬
I built Open Hansard, a free, unofficial archive of Singapore's parliamentary record since 1955. Pick an MP and read what they've said. Some speeches name only a role, so linking them to a member means checking who held it on that sitting date.
I co-founded Parleh-mate in 2023 and wrote its first scraper.
I co-led the four-person team behind Heartbeat, a daily check-in for seniors who live alone. If a senior misses a day, their caregiver gets a WhatsApp message. It began at Open Government Products' Build for Good 2024, and The Straits Times wrote about it.
I get AI agents to arrange music for string quartet. They can't hear it, so I do the listening.
Mostly Python, Postgres and auth.
Adjourned accordingly at 6.59 pm.
