Hello, I'm
Win Lei Thawdar
Also known as Winnie.
I'm a Computer Science undergraduate at SMU and a curious builder exploring AI, product development, and human-centred design, with a strong interest in the intersection of technology and business.
An unexpected path into technology.
My path into tech was not something I planned early on, but it gradually became the space where curiosity, problem-solving, and purpose came together.
Growing up in Myanmar, I never imagined that I would one day study Computer Science overseas. My original plans looked very different, and for a long time, technology was not part of the picture I had in mind for myself.
A period of uncertainty pushed me to reconsider where I wanted to grow and what kind of future I wanted to build. That process eventually brought me to Singapore and to SMU, where I discovered an interest in technology not only as a technical discipline, but as a way to turn ideas into practical solutions.
Today, I am pursuing Computer Science alongside Strategic Management, and I find myself most interested in the space where technology, business, and human needs come together.
My path was never perfectly planned, but it taught me how to adapt.
The person behind the work.
The way I work is shaped by what I value and what keeps me grounded.
