About
Ang Kang Hur
A trained food scientist who builds — at the intersection of design, technology, and systems thinking.
Who I am
I'm a trained food scientist based in Singapore, exploring interdisciplinary problem-solving through design, technology, and systems thinking.
I hold a Diploma in Food Science and Nutrition from Nanyang Polytechnic, where I went beyond coursework to pursue competition-driven projects in food innovation, sustainability, and human-centred nutrition.
How I work
I operate at the intersection of physical realities and digital scalability. My background trained me to build within hard constraints — prioritising safety, usability, and rigorous testing over pure intuition.
Whether I'm upcycling organic waste into commercial products, developing accessible nutrition platforms for vulnerable communities, or building scalable software architecture, my core philosophy is identical: I want to do my part to build a better Singapore. I engineer functional, data-driven systems that solve genuine problems for the people who need them.
