About

Hello! I am Nguyen Tuan Dung. I'm an aspiring Engineer and Entrepreneur

I am a student in my penultimate year pursuing a double major in Mechanical Engineering and Innovation & Design at the National University of Singapore. I am passionate about understanding the gaps in our society and tackling them through technology and entrepreneurship. I am also interested in creating positive change through the employment of investment and venture capital. As someone who firmly believes that ones must become the change they want to see, together with like-minded friends, I am co-founding 2 startups: HiveBotics and MyBelle.

Outside of work and studies, I love cooking, football and playing guitar. I also enjoy learning about politics, philosophy and social issues. My perfect Sunday morning constitutes of a cup of Vietnamese coffee, kaya butter toast, and deep discussion of various social topics with close friends.
