Mok has been teaching software development, design and architectural courses at the School of Information Systems (SIS), Singapore Management University for the past 5 years. Besides his academic responsibilities at SIS, Mok co-manages the lab infrastructure which supports the teaching effort, and is interested in finding out how to improve the learning experience of the B.Sc. (Information Systems Management) program at the school. Mok was the coordinator for the SIS Enrichment Program from 2006-2009; The Enrichment Program benefits students tremendously by making professional IT certification courses – including those run by Sun Microsystems, EMC Corp and Novell – accessible at very low prices. He is also leading an initiative to promote professional certification amongst the undergraduates.

He advocates voluntary blood donation, and can be frequently found at the university’s swimming pool.
