Foreword

Ok, you have landed on this page probably because you were either very curious of who I am, or you are interested in hiring me.

Personal Introduction

Hi, I’m Fred. I was born and raised in Singapore, but have been living in Shanghai since 2007.

I’ve studied music professionally since 7, continued an entirely unprofessional self-education in music production from 17 which eventually landed me a production supervisor’s job in a record label smack in Shanghai.

My first computer was a 286. I witnessed the birth of Windows, the Internet and MP3s. The first mp3 I downloaded was the theme of Forrest Gump and the age at which I created my first website was 14.

The music industry suffered (and is probably still suffering when you read this) a sharp decline during 2008 when I was in the industry. Pretty soon, I found myself leaving the scene to pursue a career more practical and still enjoyable.

And thus, my web design/development career began...

Isn't a CV the same as a Resume?

Ok, just to set the record straight.

People too often mistake a resume to be the same as a CV. Fact is, they are quite different. Traditionally, a resume never exceeds 2 pages, and contains only critical information designed to attract the employer for a certain position or job.

A CV however, is allowed to contain more pages, and alot more information for the prospective employer. This often even includes things like interests and hobbies. A CV usually contains a full reverse chronological listing of schools attended as well as positions held over the entire course of the person's career.
