[ ABOUT ]

Hi! I'm Ryan, an AI engineer based in Singapore. I break things professionally and build things obsessively.

Right now I'm serving my national service in Singapore as an AI researcher for malware analysis. Currently having a ton of fun learning about cybersecurity and networking.

[ PROJECTS ]

Built an on device AI accessibility app that detects buses for visually impaired users which works completely offline via CoreML for zero latency.

We co-designed the interface with over 30 weekly beta users from Singapore Association Of The Visually Handicapped (SAVH) who tested our UI focused on spatial audio annd haptic feedback in real conditions.

Backed by $20k in funding from OGP "Build for Good" accelerator, our project was featured on Vulcan Post and MoneyFM 89.3.

Accessibility · Swift · CoreML · Real-time detection

Finetuned a quantized Llama3 model on MIMIC-III radiological notes using Unsloth with Quantized Aware Training for the sole purpose of reducing cognitive load for clinicians.

We won 1st place in the junior category at NSC's High Performance Computing Innovation Challenge 2023.

Unsloth · LoRA · High Performance Computing

We discarded every stable OS convention replacing B-Trees with Graph Neural Networks for storage, static schedulers with PPO Reinforcement Learning, and linear bin-packing with Variational Autoencoders.

A Rust data plane forces the system to actually run while an AI Control Plane generates speculative state proposals.

Earned the "Most Overengineered use of AI" at NUS Hack&Roll 2026.

Rust · Systems Architecture · Overengineering

We built a browser extension that puts money on the line to beat digital addiction.

Built using the Open Payments API on the Interledger Protocol, the system requires users to deposit funds before focus sessions.

Bypassing site blocks costs real money going into a communal pool while staying focus earns you dividends.

Won 1st place for the Interledger Theme at Hackomania 2025.

Plasmo · Recharts · React · Tailwind

Contracted to build a production grade transcription and summarisation backend for hour long bilingual meetings (EN/JA).

The async pipeline handles long duration audio without context degradation, applies speaker diarization at >90% accuracy, and grounds summaries against external agendas and past minutes so they won't hallucinations.
