About Me

Proudly raised in Hong Kong; I am an individual that has been fortunate enough to have had a global experience in my life after studying / working in London, Hong Kong, Beijing, Spain and Australia. I have recently finished a career in Architecture where I designed projects that reflected my desire for a balance between practical and aesthetic design. However I entered the architectural field to explore the large carbon footprint of construction and energy use. Now, I am currently an aspiring software engineer that is undertaking an accelerated boot-camp to enter the field but I still aim to work promoting and achieving sustainable goals.

Sentosa-Brani Masterplan

WilkinsonEyre

During my tenure in WilkinsonEyre, I worked alongside Grant Associates and a host of other interdisciplinary practices to develop the architectural design for the upcoming Sentosa-Brani masterplan.

The masterplan will roll out over the next three decades and will split the island into five distinct character zones: Vibrant Cluster, Island Heart, Waterfront, Ridgeline and Beachfront.

Programming

An Easy Programming Tip For Beginners

Javascript: Make An Effect On Scroll

Create two classes, one hidden and one active. The hidden class should style the element to be hidden (such as opacity: 0) and also style the location to where you want it to come from (such as transform: translateY(50px)). The active class should style the item in its final location with it unhidden.Then use javascript to change between the classes on scroll:

function scrollEffect(){

  const hiddenClass = document.getElementsByClassName ("hidden-class")[0];

  let distanceToTopOfScreen = hiddenClass.getBoundingClientRect() .top;

  let screenHeight = window.innerHeight;

  if (distanceToTopOfScreen < screenHeight / 2){

    hiddenClass.classList.add("active-class");

  }

}

window.addEventListener('scroll', scrollEffect);

In fact the same technique can be applied across a variety of effects. Just set the classes that show the effect in the beginning and end state and use Javascript to change between them.
