I'm Fabian Chia, a year 4 university student majoring in Computer Science, specialising in Software Engineering and Security at the National University of Singapore. In my free time, I enjoy creative writing, working on personal projects, video editing, streaming and gaming. I'm always open to ideas, and I love meeting like-minded people. Feel free to approach me out of work too!
I am currently interning with Shopee's Seamoney department. Specifically, handling their payment gateways. I have just started my journey here, and am still working on their entry task till date!
Here, I seek to teach students the things that I've learnt myself in CS2107, a course on security fundamentals, but in more concise manners.
I interned at CSEC, a department specialized in certifying products of a certain security level under the Common Criteria (CC) and National IT Evaluation Scheme (NITES) scheme, recognised by the Singapore government.
A burning passion of a journey to tackle food waste, but our recent schedules has made it difficult for us to continue progressing.
I find myself in a fast paced medical technology start-up, where I wore the hats of a Software Engineer, Product Manager and Business Development Lead.
Following from my experiences with the Orbital software engineering project itself, I led the next batch of students towards completion of their very first mobile and web applications.
I took away many valuable skillsets and insights from my time of 10 months spent here at a company developing a Tatsu - a Discord Bot currently used by over 1.3 million communities.
Here, I sought to teach students the things that I've learnt myself in CS2030, a programming methodology course in Java, but in more concise manners.
I believe that security is a culmination of knowledge from computer-related technicalities. I inspire to be someone that understands as much as I can, since I have seen how much penetration testing relies on one's prior pool of experiences.
I've read most of the relevant modules, though I do believe that SWE is something one learns over time through rigour and refinement. Clean Code by Robert Martin is a book that I've received for my birthday, and is a book I highly recommend.
I mainly use Davinci Resolve, and I absolutely adore creating content. When I travel overseas, I vlog my experiences alongside funny moments. I also make meme videos where I reanimate entire clips of series' with my friends' faces.
