Experiences

Where I worked.

2021 to Present

AI Platform / Full Stack Data Engineer

GovTech Singapore

Focus Areas

AI Platform and LLM Infrastructure

Built an end-to-end AI platform on Kubernetes, owning the frontend, Go orchestration layer, APIs, and observability needed to standardize access to internal and external AI services. Implemented governance controls including SSO, RBAC, audit logging, and secrets-managed integrations, and supported hardening for restricted environments through MFA, network controls, and VAPT remediation.

Data Privacy and Cloud Foundations

Developed a cloud-based data privacy platform for large-scale clinical datasets, enabling secure policy analysis while improving platform efficiency and reducing AWS costs by about 30%. Supported national-level health economics work by building scalable data engineering pipelines for sensitive healthcare data.

Leadership and Adoption

Partnered with teams to cut AI proof-of-concept delivery time by 75% through reusable MLOps pipelines and rapid LLM prototyping. Raised engineering quality through structured peer review, practical AI-assisted development patterns, and internal community building such as AI Wednesday.

AI Wednesday

Selected Impact

  • Rolled out a multi-tenant MLOps platform across AWS and Azure for 450+ users across 90+ teams, standardizing governed model development and deployment, including RAG workflows.
  • Built and scaled an enterprise LLM gateway serving millions of monthly requests across commercial providers and self-hosted inference, improving cost, latency, and vendor flexibility.
  • Reduced AI proof-of-concept delivery time by 75% through reusable MLOps pipelines and rapid prototyping with stakeholders.
  • Built privacy-preserving data platforms for sensitive clinical workloads, reducing AWS costs by about 30% while enabling secure large-scale analysis in both cloud and restricted environments.
