• Led a manpower consulting project from cradle to grave. Involvesmathematical modelling (queueing theory), data collection, interpretation ofresults using statistics (hypothesis testing) and submission of business case.Proved to management that at least a 20% tightening of manpower is possiblewithout impact to operations.• Assembled a computer vision application (YOLOv8 & OpenCV) that detectsnon-compliance to safety procedures when workers load containers inaircraft. A working proof-of-concept application was demonstrated with atleast 80% accuracy.• Retrieved and analysed (SQL & Pandas) inefficiencies of turnaroundprocesses across the network and convinced management using datavisualization techniques (Plotly). A new framework was rebuilt to eventuallyachieve a timing 30% improvement in operational flow.• Created mathematical models to identify factors behind swings in CustomerSatisfaction score and automated the calculation (Excel). Saved up to 10hours per month of manual work and improve accuracy and consistency ofdecision making.• Created multiple custom scripts (Jupyter Notebook & Pandas) to automateroutine collation and compilation tasks such as monthly performance,monthly expenditure, budget planning. Saved up to 5 days of manual workper month.

Perform analysis of operational outcomes for maximum cost savings in company-wide transformation project.Monitor operational KPIs and liaise with different stakeholders for reporting.Monitor budget and expenses for department, including requests and variance analysis.Perform safety audits at aircraft site.Represent Singapore Airlines for IATA facilitation meetings.

Singapore

Ensure passengers get to where they want and on time. Controlling punctuality of flights, and waiting decisions. Handling and investigating passenger complaints and looking at processes to improve airport operations.During COVID-19, coordinated travel restrictions relating to passenger flow, operational health and safety requirements of different regulators across different countries. Also dealt with several passengers who were stranded in Singapore due to COVID related global lockdown. Also coordinated with overseas managers to prepare for their resumption of flights after the global lockdowns.Ensure the integration of SilkAir back to Singapore Airlines moves smoothly and with no gaps in knowledge transfer. Provide recommendation on best practices for the consolidation of Singapore Airlines and SilkAir operations under one umbrella.

Mandalay

Ensuring SilkAir flights arriving and departing Mandalay are on time, without hipcups and always smooth. Improving and streamlining ground passenger handling processes.Worked with vendors to improve service standards and explored methods of influencing customers' behaviour at the airport, to ease operational constraints.

Research student under Assistant Professor Daniel New.Developed an experimental setup for the study of circular and elliptical vortices in water flow.Subsequently performed visual pattern analysis on the water flow behaviour using dye imagery.

Singapore

Research student under Assistant Professor Daniel New.Investigated the locomotion mechanism of insects which skis on water surface.Obtained high-speed laser imagery and extracted trends and hypotheses from the results.

Singapore

Used Solidworks to design a novel aircraft aerofoil geometry. Subsequently fabricated and tested its performance in a water flow tunnel.

Singapore

Research student under Assistant Professor Daniel New.Developed software for quantitative analyse of large data sets obtained from laser imagery experiment. A trend analysis was performed to identify general behaviours of fluid.
