"The conventional way of solving problems is to see the problem as something external. Another approach is interrelationship-integration — problems viewed as broken, dysfunctional interrelationships."
I'm Jen Sern. Engineer by training. Builder by disposition. I left a stable career in semiconductor engineering to spend years understanding how businesses create real impact — not just revenue. Now I work in solar, helping homes and commercial properties across Singapore make the switch with FOMO Energy.
Background
Solar photovoltaics research at SERIS, National University of Singapore. Semiconductor process engineering and patents at Applied Materials. Seven years building businesses and consulting frameworks under Impact Streams. Now growing solar adoption in Singapore with FOMO Energy.
Writing & ideas
Co-author of Transitional Dilemma with Tan Kheng Hock. Currently writing Own The Problem — on why the next economy rewards commitment over capability. Member of The 100 Club, Southeast Asia's founder community.
How I think
Worthy problems deserve deep attention. I'm drawn to the kind of question that looks simple on the surface — why do people hesitate to go solar, why do cities make people anxious, why does the road keep claiming lives it shouldn't — and I stay with them until the structure underneath becomes clear.
What I build for
I believe impact precedes income. Worthiness has to be earned on the plane of value delivered before it can be claimed anywhere else. That's not a business philosophy — it's just how I try to move through the world.
Connect
If something here resonates — a solar project, an idea worth discussing, or just a question — I'm reachable. No form, no funnel. Just a conversation.
