A voice for the voiceless. Mind Interface Company (MIC) builds non-invasive, EEG-based technology that lets people turn their thoughts into text — no surgery required. I'm the founder and CEO.

the problem
People with locked-in syndrome, ALS, and severe stroke can be fully aware and still lose the ability to speak or move. Communication shrinks to whatever residual movement is left — an eye blink, a twitch — and when that goes, so does the channel.
Implanted brain-computer interfaces have shown this can be solved, but they need brain surgery. Most people who need a voice back will never get one that way.
what we're building
A non-invasive EEG headset paired with a decoding algorithm that reads intended speech and movement. The first goal is restoring communication for locked-in, ALS, and stroke patients, working with Singapore hospitals and research institutions. MIC is in early access in Singapore.
out in the world
The same BCI work has been showing up outside the lab:
- SuperAI 2026 — a live demo with Tesseract.art where visitors created paintings using their brain activity, driving a robotic painter through attention and engagement signals.
- NeuroMech — at the Singapore Defense Tech Hackathon 2026, our team put MIC's BCI on a real robot: an operator drove a ground vehicle by gaze alone, decoded from EEG. First of 39 teams.
- FUTUREMODE 2026 — on the panel "The Consumer Robotics Era" in Taipei, on what it takes for robots to reach homes, healthcare, and everyday life.
why this
My PhD was in biological sciences, and most of what I've built since has been software — fintech, edtech, AI. MIC is where the two meet: the signal is biology, the interface is software, and the person on the other end gets their voice back.
