HELLO.
I'M AN ENGINEER
Water Engineer
Born in Vietnam
Live in Singapore
Blessed with the best of both worlds
Let's introduce!
I am a civil, process and environmental engineer who is on a conquest to make Earth a better and more sustainable place to live in. Inspired by my civil engineer father, I hold a passion for innovations, visionary solutions and strives for delivery excellence. I have been part of the environmental engineering team in several multi-disciplinary projects where we design, optimize and deliver sustainable water solutions for a smarter, more harmonious and livable city of Singapore.
I continue growing in hydraulics, strategic urban flood management, climate adaptation and water quality while I spend my free time writing blogs about zero waste movement and planning for my next trip.
On the way, there will be obstacles, doubts, and disappointment. But let's not forget there is a sense of accomplishment and pride at the end of the road. Therefore, I start this site as a journal to jot down my technical knowledge and engineering experiences, reflect on my journey and hopefully assist a soul out there in pursuing engineering.

Thoughts, musings, and ruminations.
April 10, 2023Unsurprisingly, Singapore, an island country, is prone to sea level rise. Mean sea level around Singapore is projected to rise by 1m by 2100. This sea level rise will be further amplified to 4-5m if storm surge, land subsidence and tidal activities are taken into account. This means that by...June 28, 2020 · Urban Planing,Climate ChangeWhy the relation 2020 begins with the global COVID 19 pandemic. Starting from a city in China, the crisis has gone global within 6 months, as a result of urbanisation and globalisation; and its ending is nowhere near. No doubt, this has already altered urban life to a great extent. The urban...Education
