Hi, I'm Max.
A curious mind in Singapore, exploring the intersection of technology and inner awareness.
About
I work in IT, focused on AI strategy and technical research in the manufacturing industry. By day I evaluate emerging AI technologies — multimodal models, code interpreters, automation pipelines. By night I tinker with side projects that sit closer to my heart.
I believe the best technology should serve genuine human needs — not create new dependencies or distractions.
Projects
Hollow 树洞
An AI companion designed for quiet reflection. Unlike most wellness apps that prescribe behavior, Hollow acts as a mirror — gently interrupting autopilot moments and creating space for self-awareness, without judgment or agenda.
Interests
AI & Automation
From multimodal models to AI coding agents, exploring what's practical and what's hype.
Inner Awareness
Meditation, consciousness exploration, and the question of how technology can support — not replace — genuine inner work.
Classic Cinema
A soft spot for golden-era Hong Kong and Taiwanese films, and the stories they tell about the human condition.
Philosophy
Drawing from Zen, Taoism, Advaita, and contemporary thinkers — holding multiple frameworks without clinging to any one.
A Few Beliefs
"Awareness itself dissolves the problem."
"Nature, society, experience, and real-world encounters are the true sources of learning."
"Spiritual progress is non-linear — breakthroughs are followed by integration periods that feel like regression but represent consolidation."
