software engineer Singapore

Afian Anwar is a software engineer who relocated from Singapore to Vancouver in 2017, drawn by job opportunities and the city's natural beauty. He runs a consulting company, Afi Labs, specializing in 3-D mapping for Google Maps and has recently gained attention for creating a photorealistic 3-D map of the Senakw housing project to assess its impact on views of the city's iconic mountains. Anwar emphasizes the importance of Vancouver's picturesque setting, noting that without it, the city could be perceived as just another mid-tier American city. He believes that despite the challenges of affordability, Vancouver will continue to attract new residents, particularly with upcoming events like the FIFA World Cup.
