Resume

AI engineer with a civil engineering background and an M.Sc. in Business Analytics from NUS. I build document intelligence, multimodal, and computer vision systems. Most recently, I worked on enterprise document intelligence and Azure AI Foundry at Keppel, after building multimodal AI systems at GovTech.

Experience

AI Engineer Intern at Keppel Ltd

Jun 2026 to Aug 2026 at Keppel Ltd, Singapore

AI engineering internship focused on enterprise document intelligence and Azure AI Foundry.

  • Enterprise document intelligence. Built an internal POC with the same core approach as DIVA: schema-based extraction, searchable records, evidence-grounded retrieval, and answers linked to their source documents.
  • Azure AI Foundry sandbox. Spearheaded the team's initial sandbox setup, configured the environment, explored the platform's capabilities and constraints, and built working POCs to guide adoption.

Focus: Azure AI Foundry, document intelligence, RAG, and enterprise AI prototyping.

Data Science Intern at GovTech

Jan 2026 to May 2026 at GovTech, Singapore

Multimodal Hub team, building shipped AI systems for Whole-of-Government agencies.

  • Rat detection MLOps loop. Cold-started RF-DETR on a manually labelled seed of trap footage, then wired it into a flywheel: new clips in, model auto-labels, human corrects uncertain frames, and the corrected set goes back into training. Less manual labelling was needed each round.
  • Smoking detection on public CCTV. Built a cascade detection pipeline that narrows from body to head before classifying smoke vs no-smoke, with ByteTrack and ReID layered on top to identify individual smokers and avoid double-counting across cameras.
  • Wildlife detection and species ID. Built the full stack with D-FINE for real-time edge detection, SAM3 and BioCLIP for open-vocabulary species identification, and an iNaturalist reference set localised to Singapore species. Gemini reasons over the output and triggers warnings in real time.
  • Vessel mooring compliance for MPA. Built a pipeline that ingests drone imagery of ships at their moorings, detects and identifies each vessel, then checks an approved schedule to flag vessels at the wrong buoy or outside their allowed window.
  • Generative documents for public officers. Built a guided workflow that turns PDFs or prose into editable slides, infographics, and diagrams using reference examples, code generation, and image generation. Shipped as a Whole-of-Government proof of concept on PlatformAI.
  • NParks claims auto-approval. Extracted structured fields from receipts, invoices, and claims, then matched them through a configurable rules engine so reviewers only handled edge cases.

Product work: built the frontend, backend, and serverless deployment for each POC.

Cloud: AWS Lambda, S3 Vectors, Bedrock Nova embeddings, GCP Cloud Run, Firestore, RunPod, Docker, and GPU-backed inference on DGX Spark.

Additional work: resolved dependency and GPU compatibility issues in existing services and contributed to QA across team deliverables.

Data Scientist Intern at Tictag

Jun 2025 to Aug 2025 at Tictag, Singapore

Computer vision R&D team. Prototyped retail analytics pipelines from in-store CCTV, built custom benchmarks, and explored emerging vision models.

  • Product interaction analytics from in-store CCTV. Built an end-to-end pipeline to define store regions, detect shopper interactions, classify what was taken or returned, and aggregate the results into a retail insights report. Also built custom human-detection benchmarks for CCTV footage.
  • Frontier model exploration. Benchmarked emerging vision and multimodal models including RexThinker, Hunyuan, GroundingDINO, D-FINE, and RF-DETR, mapping their production readiness and limitations.
  • Customer service assessment demo. Built a Hugging Face demo that scores service officers on friendliness and professionalism from facial expression and audio, with translation and transcription handled in the pipeline.
  • Action classification data flywheel. Architected a pipeline that extracts human pose features from video, routes them for action labelling, and feeds the labelled set back into classifier training.
  • Camera calibration to floorplan heatmaps. Used NVIDIA DeepStream and monocular depth estimation to project shopper positions from camera space onto store floorplans, plot paths, and aggregate activity heatmaps.

Stack: VMs, A100 GPUs, Gradio, and Hugging Face models and datasets.

Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for CS2040

Aug 2024 to Dec 2025 at NUS School of Computing, Singapore

Conducted weekly tutorials on data structures and algorithms in Java for 30 students across AY24/25 and AY25/26. Guided lab sessions, graded assignments, and received the Honour Roll award.

Climate Models Analytics Intern

May 2024 to Aug 2024 at DSTA, Singapore

Built a pipeline with Selenium and APIs to automate weather data retrieval. Enhanced rainfall analysis using super-resolution models including SRGAN and RDN. Deployed a Llama-based offline chatbot for domain experts in meteorology.
