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, focused on AI/ML and full-stack engineering. I like problems that span the whole stack: training and deploying models, designing REST APIs, and shipping interfaces people actually enjoy using. Lately that's meant computer-vision pipelines for aircraft inspection at Singapore Airlines and a full forum platform on a Go + PostgreSQL backend. 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.

AI/ML · Audio

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.

Gossip with Go

ARCHIVED

Dec 2025 – Jan 2026

A full social forum - posts, topics, likes, reposts and two-level nested comments - with algorithmic content ranking and multi-entity follows. The Go REST API (25+ endpoints, 3-layer architecture, GORM) is tuned with composite indexes and denormalisation for sub-100ms reads; auth is JWT in httpOnly cookies with rate limiting and bcrypt. Shipped as an installable PWA.
