My background

I'm Alan from Singapore currently reading Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore. Despite majoring in mechanical engineering, I'm really passionate about software engineering and is planning to make that my career.

What I've done

• Winter Break 2014: I built RubyBench.org after reading Sam Saffon's call for a long running Ruby benchmark. The project had been started but no one had the time to see it to completion due to their full time commitments. Therefore, I decided to spend my winter break to get it to a publishable state.

• Summer Break 2014: I worked on "Unifying Controller and Integration Tests in Rails" as part of Google Summer of Code 2014. More about the project here.

Background

First Depature competed in Beyond the Submmit, a global Dota 2 tournament, where regional qualifiers are played online with the winner of each region invited to the Los Angeles studio to compete in a Local Area Network(LAN) finals against the winners of other regions in the world. The tournament starts with a base price pool of a $100,000 dollar with 25% of all in game sales contributing to it. At this time of writing, the total prize pool stands at $310,242!!!!

A wasted opportunity for national glory
