About Shaan

Welcome to your go-to spot for discovering Singapore, brought to you by someone who's navigated this vibrant city as a Kiwi expat since 1992. Back then, as a young student at the Australian International School, I started soaking up everything this city had to offer, setting the stage for a lifelong affair with this bustling metropolis.

Fast forward to 2009, I returned with a mission: to launch Chillybin Web Design. Starting this company was not just about putting my stamp on the digital world; it was about creating connections and fostering a community through our work. Along the way, I've spearheaded local tech meetups and conferences, helping stitch together a network of tech aficionados across this region.

My unique position as both a local and an outsider allows me to uncover what really makes Singapore pulse—from the hidden green spots perfect for a Sunday unwind to the noisy, vibrant hawker centers buzzing with life.
