✨ 🌬️ Resonance of Freedom

VÔ TƯANH QUÂN IDOL x KHẮC ANH mirrors Raymond Ng’s journey with its gentle call to move through life unburdened yet purposeful, a soundtrack whose breezy calm and emotional clarity echo the way he builds Resumify and Neural Drive not from pressure or ambition alone, but from a quiet, steady desire to free others—former offenders, disabled patients, marginalized communities—from the constraints that once held them back, turning his own cross‑cultural childhood into a rhythm of compassion, innovation and uplift.

“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination”.

Einstein’s reflection captures the spirit of Raymond Loong Ng, a 21‑year‑old Singaporean‑Vietnamese innovator whose imagination has become a tool for equity. From humble beginnings selling snacks to classmates, he has grown into a founder building accessibility technologies designed to restore dignity, opportunity and voice to underserved communities.

🌏💛 Roots That Shaped a Mission

Raised between Ho Chi Minh City and Singapore, Ng witnessed firsthand how geography can determine a child’s future. While he enjoyed academic stability in Singapore, many of his friends in Vietnam left school early to support their families. That contrast became the emotional core of his work. Today, even as a full‑time national serviceman, he co‑leads two accessibility‑focused start‑ups that have secured more than $200,000 in funding—without taking a salary.

📄🤝 Resumify: AI for Second Chances

Ng’s first major venture, Resumify, emerged from a hackathon and a simple insight: automated hiring systems often disadvantage people who struggle to articulate their experiences. He built an AI‑powered resume assistant for former offenders and people with disabilities, earning $24,100 in funding and a partnership with Yellow Ribbon Singapore. Nearly 100 former convicts have already trialled the tool, turning a student project into a pathway toward reintegration.

🧩🧠 Neural Drive: Giving Voice Through Brainwaves

In 2025, Ng co‑founded Neural Drive, a start‑up developing portable headsets that translate eye movements and brainwaves into simple commands for patients with severe disabilities. Existing assistive devices are often bulky and expensive; Ng and his team set out to build something lighter, cheaper and more humane. Their prototype—now in clinical testing—has already attracted more than $180,000 in grants from institutions such as Singapore Polytechnic and the Singapore University of Technology and Design.

🔥🌱 A Life Built on Purpose, Not Pressure

Despite juggling national service, two start‑ups and a youth AI education initiative, Ng insists that passion fuels his pace. Nights and weekends become his creative runway as he builds tools meant to expand human possibility. As he prepares to study computer science after national service, his goal remains grounded and generous: to make life “meaningfully better” for the people around him. In a tech world obsessed with valuation, Ng stands out as a reminder that the most transformative innovation still begins with heart.

Neural Drive Uplift

Hackathons as a Social Mobility Engine
One insight hiding between the lines is how Raymond’s story quietly reframes what “innovation” looks like in Southeast Asia: his success isn’t built on privileged networks, elite accelerators, or inherited capital, but on hackathons as a social mobility engine. Those weekend competitions—usually treated as résumé padding—functioned as his real university: they gave him co‑founders, problems worth solving, access to mentors, and even the emotional permission to imagine himself as a builder. That’s the part no one talks about: hackathons weren’t just events for him—they were his gateway into a world he otherwise wouldn’t have entered, a grassroots ecosystem where talent can outrun background. It explains why his companies are so mission‑driven: he didn’t just learn to code there; he learned that community can be a catalyst, and he’s now trying to build tools that give others the same lift he once received.
