Experience

January 2026 – Present
  • Engineered the comparative evaluation pipeline for an ISMRM-accepted 3D medical image registration project.
  • Deployed and tuned state-of-the-art Swin-Transformer baselines (TransMorph) to rigorously benchmark a novel keypoint-based architecture.
  • Standardized heterogeneous clinical datasets (abdominal and brain MRI) to generate reproducible baseline metrics, confirming a +9% Dice score improvement and ~49% Hausdorff Distance reduction.

AI/ML Engineer

Groundup.ai
December 2022 – August 2025
  • Secured a signed enterprise contract with Qatar Airport by architecting the mathematical models and technical strategy for a predictive asset management pilot.
  • Led the deployment of a mission-critical Video Content Analytics (VCA) pilot for the Singapore Armed Forces, winning a competitive tender to automate 24/7 workshop safety surveillance.
  • Architected an agentic AI system using LangGraph and Prefect, enabling AI agents to autonomously query backend APIs and slashing vibration analysts' manual reporting time by ~70%.
  • Eliminated data-loading bottlenecks by engineering a unified FastAPI service that concurrently serves heavy vibration data, optimizing ScyllaDB querying to achieve <100ms latency.
  • Designed and deployed a sound-based anomaly detection system with <0.1s latency on edge TPUs, preventing an estimated $100,000+ in annual material losses for semiconductor lapping machines.
  • Engineered a 24/7, event-driven IoT data pipeline (MQTT, Kafka) for 300+ sensors and scaled its ScyllaDB backend to 8TB.

Data Scientist

Monash University
February 2024 – March 2025
  • Architected a two-stage training pipeline processing 12,000 global Landsat/NASA SRTM image pairs to reconstruct complex mountainous terrains with a 0.4671 mean RMSE.
  • Authored an IEEE IGARSS 2025 accepted paper detailing a novel conditional GAN (pix2pix) that generates Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) directly from free 2D RGB satellite imagery.

Machine Learning Engineer

Carro
July 2022 – December 2022
  • Engineered an end-to-end CatBoost pricing pipeline that automatically scraped competitor marketplaces and factored in nuanced conditions, scaling pricing operations to under 6 hours.
  • Transformed data science workflows by migrating legacy, unversioned SageMaker notebooks to modular Docker containers on Amazon ECS, integrated with GitHub and Terraform.

Artificial Intelligence Engineer

GDP Labs
June 2021 – July 2022
  • Architected an end-to-end serverless analytics pipeline using AWS Glue, Athena, and Step Functions, integrating MLflow for experiment tracking.
  • Slashed daily batch-prediction infrastructure costs by an estimated 70%+ by transitioning to an event-driven, pay-per-execution AWS Lambda architecture.
