SimplifyNext

Forward Deployed AI Engineer

  • I help enterprises design, ship, and maintain multi-agent systems on Azure, with the tracing and access controls needed to run them in production.
  • Shipped a multi-agent HR assistant for a 10,000+ employee organisation. A lead agent and 7 specialists clear about 80% of first-contact payroll enquiries.
Feb 2025 – Oct 2025

Legalwise Genie

May 2023 – Dec 2024

Singapore Management University Centre for Computational Law

Research Assistant (Artificial Intelligence)

  • Research objective: i. how can we generate high quality legal data; and ii. can it be used for fine-tuning a language model for law?
  • Built a legal search platform and curated its results so a ColBERT reranker could be trained on them, citation-grounded text pipelines using STORM and DSPy, and AWS/Airflow ETL for ingesting regulations and guidelines.
