ClimbBuddy
A platform for bouldering competitions, gyms and climbers. I lead its direction from event infrastructure toward gym software and a persistent identity for climbing.
Hi, I'm Wira.
I like problems that are messy in practice but can be made clearer through careful questioning, evidence and software. I currently do that as a co-founder and Chief Product Officer at TOPO, where I lead product strategy for ClimbBuddy and still write some of the code.
What I do
I tend to start by questioning the premise, understanding what people already do, and finding the smallest useful thing worth testing. My background spans software engineering, research, teaching and product development, so I'm comfortable moving between technical detail and the larger decision being made.
Selected work
Classical simulation of quantum circuits
I studied heuristic design for classical simulation using ZX-calculus, as part of my MSc in Advanced Computer Science.
Multi-agent strategy learning
I explored how reinforcement-learning agents communicate and coordinate when solving shared problems.
Background
Product and software
Before founding TOPO, I worked on autonomous-vehicle research at Desay SV Automotive and natural-language processing at JPMorgan Chase.
Teaching
From 2020 to 2023, I taught artificial intelligence, software engineering, programming, and data structures at NUS.
Education
I studied Computer Engineering and Financial Mathematics at NUS, followed by Advanced Computer Science at Oxford. I'm currently completing a Graduate Diploma in Finance at SIM-University of London.
