Open to new opportunities

I build intelligent software, end to end.

CS undergrad at NUS and AI Engineer Intern at Singapore Airlines. I work across the stack - from YOLO-based computer-vision pipelines to production web apps in React and Go.

About

I'm Ike - a Computer Science undergraduate at the National University of Singapore, obsessed with building AI systems that don't just answer questions, but get things done.

My interests sit where AI meets software engineering: Agentic AI, AI operating systems, machine learning and full-stack development. I enjoy solving problems that span the entire stack. From training and deploying models, orchestrating autonomous AI workflows and designing REST APIs, to building interfaces that people genuinely enjoy using.

Recently, I've been developing AI agents and operating systems that automate real-world workflows, including building computer vision pipelines for aircraft inspection at Singapore Airlines.

Always building, always shipping, and usually asking, “What else can we automate?”

Based in Singapore.

Experience

Where I've worked

AI Engineer Intern · Singapore Airlines

May 2026 – Present

Singapore

Built a YOLOv8 pipeline to detect paint-peel defects on aircraft fuselages, using SAHI 320×320 tiling and rembg segmentation to isolate the airframe. Diagnosed and fixed a data-leakage issue by moving to aircraft-level train/test splits, giving an honest production-split score of mAP@50 0.76 and 0.55 recall. Replaced manual visual inspection with automated defect scoring.

Software Engineer · GSPL

Mar 2025 – Aug 2025

Singapore

Produced modular system designs, block diagrams and specs, and wrote API documentation with GovTech and iWOW. Built AWS-backed services (EC2, Lambda) and developed Buddy of Parents (BOP), a React Native mobile app.

Software Lead · Singapore Armed Forces

Nov 2023 – Mar 2025

Singapore

Led the full-stack build of Social40, a unit ERP, from scratch in Next.js with SSR. Automated CSV/data workflows in Python and restructured logistics databases to cut redundancy.

SIA Paint-Defect Detection

LIVE

May 2026 – Present

A YOLOv8 pipeline detecting paint-peel defects on aircraft fuselages across the Singapore Airlines and Scoot fleets. rembg segmentation isolates the airframe, SAHI 320×320 tiling preserves small defects, and aircraft-level train/test splits keep evaluation honest - mAP@50 0.76 on the production split. Inference scores each aircraft across 15 fixed camera views and publishes annotated images and Excel reports to SharePoint.

GenreAI

Jun 2024

A neural-network music-genre classifier built with TensorFlow/Keras. librosa extracts MFCCs, chroma, spectral and tempo features from raw audio, and the model classifies tracks across the GTZAN dataset's 10 genres - reaching 99.67% accuracy after extensive hyperparameter tuning.
