Testimonial
- Mr Edwin Ang
I had the pleasure of working with Tan Kok Hwee during his 8-months internship and was impressed by his positive
attitude. He demonstrated determination and a strong commitment to delivering quality results.
What truly stood out was Kok Hwee’s remarkable growth in understanding user interface and user experience
design. Over time, his ability to create visually appealing, intuitive, and user-friendly website layouts significantly
improved, resulting in solutions that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
I highly recommend Kok Hwee to anyone seeking reliable, thoughtful, and customer-focused service. He also has a
keen interest in IT, making him a valuable resource for innovative and effective solutions. Additionally, he is able to
complete tasks on time, ensuring that projects stay on track and meet deadlines.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Tan Kok Hwee in support of his university application. I had the opportunity to teach him in CIT2C23 Agile Methodology and Design Thinking during the April 2024 semester. Throughout the course, he displayed a good grasp of the subject matter and showed the ability to apply key concepts effectively.
Beyond academics, I also served as his liaison officer during his internship with Pixel Mechanics during his last year of study. During this period, Tan Kok Hwee demonstrated professionalism, adaptability, and a responsible attitude toward his work. He was able to integrate well into the workplace and perform his tasks effectively.
With his strong work ethic and willingness to learn, I believe that Tan Kok Hwee will be a valuable addition to any academic program. I fully support his application and am confident that he will make meaningful contributions to his future studies and beyond.
Please feel free to contact me if further information is required.
