• Leadership – AICE I-certified Tech Lead✓ Designed and implemented privacy-preserving systems facilitating federated learning via PySyft✓ Containerised and deployed applications as a 20-party federated network✓ Implemented a REST-ful RPC controller service using Flask and websockets spanning multiple packages for coordinating model training and inference across the federated network✓ Implemented custom AutoML mechanisms to ensure data and model compatibility across all participants in the federated network✓ Implemented custom algorithms, increasing model performance by at least 10%✓ Generalised applications to run on Raspberry Pis computers in an Internet-of-Things (IOT) setting

• Leadership – Head Instructor for ‘Tynker – Coding for Kids” after-school programme ✓ Primary consultant for the overall direction of the modules ✓ Developed holistic curriculums (i.e. Tynker, Python and general Computer Science) to inculcate the fundamentals of programming, specifically directed to the target age groups ✓ Coached and supervised other coding teachers with regards to instruction, curriculum, procedure and practices to optimise the delivery of their classes ✓ Analysed classroom dynamics and generated novel ideas to engage students, yielding a peak onboarding rate of 80% ✓ Planned and conducted workshops for children aged 7 to 13, with 30% of parents specifically requesting for direct tutorship ✓ Enhanced existing workflow by increasing ease of access to class-related resources and/or other student metadata, boosting time efficiency by 20%

Project: BioGraphterDeveloped a python package to automate workflow for Genomic Regulatory network (GRN) discovery✓ Established scalable pipeline to facilitate computational annotations of Prize-collecting Steiner Forests (PCSF) solutions upon heterogeneous biological networks, leveraging upon >20M -omics entries dynamically aggregated over 13 sources via server-client interactions. ✓ Devised signature algorithms allowing unique processing and identification of GRNs via both visual and statistical means ✓ Employed extensive Object-Oriented Programming techniques, UML modelling and dynamic data structures in tandem with Pandas, Dask and Snakemake to achieve highly parallelised processes (Developed with: Python and R, on Linux)

Project: Genes That TweetConstructed a relevancy filtration network that extracted, sorted and disseminated scientific articles from Biology-related journals (i.e. Pubmed and Biorxiv) through the detection of in-text gene entities ✓ Simulated biological pathway networks by leveraging on 58432 GNU social nodes ✓ Implemented ingestion modules for the retrieval of scientific literature (> 2M articles) ✓ Devised scoring algorithms for benchmarking article significance ✓ Developed a front-end interface to streamline user interaction with the system (i.e. GTT Web) (Developed with: Python, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Docker, Django, Bootstrap, HTML and CSS, on Linux)

Project: OrigamoWeb development track for NUS School of Computing Orbital ProgrammeBuilt an origami compilation website to collate culturally interesting origami schematics worldwide ✓ Extracted and consolidated a hub of origami projects via web scrapping (> 100 schematics) ✓ Designed and integrated functional web UI to complement back-end processes ✓ Implemented comprehensive user-tracking sessions through embedded social authentication (Developed with: Python, Django, SQLite, Bootstrap, HTML and CSS, on Windows

• Leadership – Team Trainer ✓ Actively and patiently trained his new fellow colleagues in the use of advanced excel operations like VLOOKUP and pivot tabling ✓ Created, formatted and standardised sales reporting procedures that boosted overall efficiency of daily closure consolidation by approximately 1 hour ✓ Top telesales personnel 6 months in a row, with peak closure rate at 74.5%

• Leadership – Group Leader of a ground resource ✓ Analysed and evaluated tense circumstances to maximise efficiency in the safest possible manner ✓ Directed and supervised colleagues while engaging members of public with utmost professionalism✓ Identified, pursued and arrested perpetrators, with a track record of 23 initiated arrests made ✓ Three-time Commander’s Award Recipient for Good Arrest ✓ Pat-On-The-Back Award Recipient for Outstanding Incident ManagementKey Responsibilities: 1) Provide for public safety by maintaining order, responding to emergencies protecting people and property, enforcing criminal laws and promoting good community relations2) Identify, pursue and arrest suspects and perpetrators of Criminal Acts3) Record Facts to prepare reports that document incidents and activities
