Hey!
I'm Ethan Chew 👋

I'm currently pursuing a Diploma in Information Technology at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, alongside a Minor in Applied Psychology and a Certificate in Advanced Computing Mathematics. I've been recognized on the Director's List for both my first and second semesters, and I ranked second in my cohort during the second semester. In addition to my academic achievements, I actively participate in various clubs and societies, including Overflow and the Ngee Ann Polytechnic Photography Club, where I hold executive committee positions.

The Singapore Youth Flying Club has enabled me to pursue my passion for aviation by allowing me to take the controls of a real aircraft. Through intensive training and study, I successfully completed Phases 1 and 2 of the Basic Flying Course, culminating in my first solo flight.

• - Gained hands-on experience by taking control of the Diamond DA40-CS.
• - Successfully finished Phases 1 and 2 of the Basic Flying Course.
• - Achieved my first solo flight.

At the School of Science and Technology, we have the chance to study our academic subjects through applied learning. We also have the opportunity to choose an Applied Subject for the O-Levels to further our understandings. I chose Computing+ as my Applied Subject, which helped me further my knowledge in Infocomm Technology and develop my Computational Thinking skills. I also have the opportunity to embark on my Computing+ Coursework about a toolbox of different tools that can help students, for example, an ionic equation solver and a chemical equation balancer.

• - Focus on applied learning in academic subjects.
• - Chose Computing+ as an Applied Subject for O-Levels.
• - Enhanced knowledge in Infocomm Technology and developed Computational Thinking skills.
• - Took part in various Clubs and Societies, as well as participated in competitions

The Swift Accelerator Program is a ten-month long program, which teaches students the fundamentals of Swift, the language used to create iOS, WatchOS, MacOS and iPadOS apps. From this program, I developed an app called ArrivalSG that can allow users to track bus arrival timings, display the MRT map and show current train disruptions, if any.

• - Learned the fundamentals of Swift for app development on iOS, WatchOS, MacOS, and iPadOS.
• - Developed an app called ArrivalSG, aiming to be an all-in-one transportation app for Singapore.
