Social platforms often fail to address user reports or share data with authorities, hindering anti-scam efforts in Singapore. This has led to a 28% increase in social media scams in 2024.
Scamhunt is trying to solve this by enabling easy reporting of suspicious posts, providing AI-powered Scamsense assessment of scam likelihood, and equipping authorities with actionable data (Scamview Dashboard) to combat online scams and hold social media platforms accountable

ABOUT
I have over a decade of experience designing for India and South East Asia. I’ve helped startups launch products, managed design teams, co-founded an eco-startup to reduce Bangalore's waste, and made shortfilms︎︎︎ for the Swachh Bharat Mission︎︎︎ to improve municipal waste management.
I have the most fun working on complex zero to one → one to ten design and product problems.
I am passionate about continuous learning and growth, and I enjoy collaborating with people from different teams and countries.
On weekends, you’ll find me perfecting my morning coffee, reading, doing interior design challenges or taking long walks.
