Hey! I'm Matthias Lee 👋

Aspiring Software Engineer

Computer Science @ SUTD

My journey into software development began when I saw how programming and a lifelong learner's mentality helped my father rebuild his life after being diagnosed with Parkinson's. Despite the challenges, he used coding to create his own startup, showing me that knowing how to code is like having infinite Lego blocks—where the only limits are your creativity and determination. It's what ignited my passion for coding and is what drives me to keep on building!

When I'm not knee-deep in code, you'll find me exploring the great outdoors, whether it's fishing by a quiet lake, hiking up a challenging trail, or satisfying my wanderlust with new travel adventures. Before I became a programmer, I was an artist - getting lost in my creative work whilst pursuing it in school for 4 years. I also had the privilege of leading both my secondary and junior college choir. I've dabbled in entrepreneurship too, launching an EdTech startup and a clothing line. I’m also passionate about education and spend my free time as a part-time tutor.
