I am Alson Lee

Problem Solver. Budding Technopreneur. Change Maker.

đź‘‹ Hi there! I'm Alson, currently a Year 1 undergraduate majoring in Computer Science at the National University of Singapore. I'm passionate about creating solutions that scale, that impact not just one or two, but thousands or even millions of people. I believe in the ability of software to change the world, and I'm excited to learn new technologies to leverage on this potential. In my free time, I like to keep up my fitness by gymming, running and playing recreational Tchoukball and Badminton. I also enjoy reading, particularly on topics relating to finance, nutrition, and mental well-being.

NAMECARD GENERATOR

2023

VBA


I created this Macro to automate the menial creation of namecards via Microsoft Powerpoint. This Excel sheet accepts data to replace text fields in a given (and customizable) template, eliminating the tedious work of filling in the data manually and saving hours of work at a click of a button.

DOCUMENT AUTOFILLER

2023

VBA


I created this Macro to automate the filling up of transit slips used for despatching mail. This led to a 3x reduction in the usual time needed to fill up all required fields manually, and cut down on human error by 80%, enabling increased efficiency in my workplace. Sensitive details have been changed.
