About
Year 2 CS student at NUS.
I build AI-powered tools and ship fast.
Currently building Tweakler, working as a Research Assistant under Prof. Ooi Wei Tsang on dynamic 3D Gaussian Splatting benchmarking, and serving as a CCSGP Fellow building AssessMate for early childhood intervention assessors.
Interested in AI infrastructure, developer tools, healthtech, neuroevolution, and quality-diversity algorithms.

Projects
01
Tweakler
An agent-driven system that turns permissioned website references into distinct, brand-oriented sites through deterministic cloning, adaptation, validation, and human approval gates. Already being used and tested by a few studios, including Brightsea Studio.
Private
02
EvoServe
WIP
A harness-quality and evaluation control plane for coding-agent systems that compares policy candidates, independently verifies captured-run evidence, and produces auditable quality and regression reports.
Private
03
GPT-2 from Scratch
Recreated GPT-2 124M from scratch: tokenizer, transformer blocks, optimizer, mixed precision, and FineWeb Edu evaluation; trained on 10B tokens.
04
SecureClaw
A privacy router for 12 PII types with three routing modes, on-device/cloud inference, and a 30-case benchmark.
05
AssessMate
WIP
An AI case-notes copilot for structured documentation, piloted with two assessors to measure documentation-time reduction on PDPA-sensitive child-development data.
06
Moltlytics
Analytics platform rivaling PostHog that lets website owners automatically adapt their sites based on real customer behavior data.

Building AssessMate, an AI case-notes copilot for structured documentation with early childhood intervention assessors.
Hackathons
1ST PLACE //
Replit Agent Hackathon (Singapore)
Built Remember — an AR smart glasses simulator for dementia patients with real-time face recognition, contextual information overlay, and a personal knowledge graph powered by live speech extraction.
2ND PLACE //
Google DeepMind × Cactus Compute Hackathon
Built SecureClaw — a privacy-first on-device AI assistant using FunctionGemma with smart cloud fallback, PII detection, and local-vs-cloud routing.
TOP 30% //
NVIDIA Nemotron Model Reasoning Challenge
Used a MAP-Elites-style search over fine-tuning recipes, then trained a rank-32 attention LoRA on 14,400 solver-generated reasoning traces for Nemotron-3-Nano-30B; placed in the 70th percentile in a field of 5,223 participants.
Hack&Roll 2026
Built JustPromptBro — a VSCode extension with event-driven keystroke tracking, real-time behavioural feedback, and a Solana smart contract for on-chain game logic.
Jane Street Kaggle Competition
Built a neural network from scratch and leveraged XGBoost for time-series forecasting on unlabelled market data to predict prices 6 months ahead.
