Education
Gunny attended Hwa Chong Institution in Singapore from middle school through high school, specializing in bi-cultural studies of Eastern and Western cultures. At the age of 18, Gunny joined the Singaporean army for a brief tour of service and earned his moniker in the recon command training field snipers. After his military stint, Gunny worked several different jobs including nightclub set designer, buffet manager, among others. A chance encounter with Scott Jenson of GoogleX fame during Gunny's temporary job as a street journalist brought his attention to the Physical Web and big data. Gunny subsequently enrolled in Rice University in Texas to pursue a career in the data world, and is currently a rising sophomore at the institution.
