01About

I'm a Business and Computer Science double-degree student at Nanyang Technological University, combining technical depth with business thinking. I enjoy building practical software products, AI workflows, and data-driven systems that solve real operational problems.

I'm in my second year of a Bachelor of Computing (Honours) in Computer Science (CGPA 4.75/5) and a Bachelor of Business (Honours) in Business Analytics (CGPA 4.63/5), both at Highest Distinction. My work spans AI-assisted development, automation, business analytics, full-stack web development, and product thinking, with a bias toward shipping things that get used.

Work Experience

    AI Business Analyst Intern

    Genesis Networks Pte Ltd

    May 2026 – Present
    • Built an end-to-end AI "document engine": four chained n8n workflows (research brief → client proposal → functional spec → test cases), each calling a self-hosted Qwen3.6-27B LLM, automating the early SDLC for client projects
    • Exposed the workflows as tools under an n8n AI Agent via an MCP Server Trigger ("Project Assistant MCP Server"), with multi-file ingestion, a structured requirements register, and a webhook streaming documents from internal MinIO object storage
    • Built and deployed a FastAPI tools/MCP microservice as the engine room for the tool logic, with its own repo, Dockerfile, Jenkins CI pipeline, and a Kubernetes Deployment and ClusterIP managed through Rancher, running fully in-cluster
    • Stood up PostgreSQL in-cluster as the datastore, with tools writing structured records straight to Postgres
    • Architected the system as n8n (MCP front door) → FastAPI (engine room) → PostgreSQL (store), alongside private in-cluster Qwen and MinIO services with no public endpoints
    • Demonstrated the pipeline end-to-end on a sample (dummy-client) scenario: 22/22 functional requirements covered and 51 test cases generated, with bidirectional FR-ID coverage and no orphans
    • Translated business requirements into technical implementation across the SDLC, working hands-on with RAG/embedding pipelines, GitLab, and Claude Code
