Hi, I‘m Jia Chen

I like to build random things.

I‘m a student developer from Singapore and the developer of dozens of vaguely amusing, overcomplicated projects.
I also run the Swift Accelerator Programme, a programme by Apple and IMDA.

I‘m an Apple Certified Trainer and work on various community initatives involving Apple technologies.

Some places I‘ve been in.

News articles, features, and random other places my name or face might have popped up in.
