Why we started Dreambuilders, and what we believe about kids, creativity, and code.
18 years in finance — Grab, Airwallex, CPA. GEP alumni. Rafflesian. I know what the Singapore education system looks like from the inside — and I know what it doesn't teach.
This wasn't about my career. It was about my kids. I want them to have a head start — not by drilling more content, but by learning to think with AI. To articulate what they want. Troubleshoot. Push through until something real comes out.
"A child who learns to direct AI today will only be limited by how much they want to put in."
Nanyang Girls High, SMU. CFA Level II. Performance Analytics at Standard Chartered. Built the strategy and performance engine at GXS Bank. My school journey and career didn't just teach me content but also exposed me to what was coming next: new systems, new tools, new ways of thinking, long before they hit mainstream. That exposure mattered more than any syllabus.
I have three kids of my own and I think about what they need constantly. AI isn't a "someday" skill anymore.
"The kids that get ahead won't be the ones who memorise the fastest — the skill that compounds is knowing which question to ask next, broaden their own scope and stay current with what's actually happening in the world."
Real learning happens when you put something into the world. We celebrate done over polished.
Every build starts with a kid's own idea. We don't hand them a project — they bring the dream, we help them build it.
If the kids aren't having fun, something's wrong. Energy, vibes, and pizza are core curriculum.
