Work Experience
Senior Data Scientist
2020 - 2024
Real Estate Analytics
- Created a framework that estimates the building's solar rooftop potential, detects buildings from satellite images, rooftop shape, and optimal placement of solar panels, and starts building information profiles using geodata and address matching.
- Developed a real estate price prediction model that combined hedonic and machine learning approaches and was awarded the WIPO patent, number WO/2022/191775.
- Built a record-linking framework that allows the consolidation and deduplication of real estate property listings across multiple data sources, which was awarded the WIPO patent, number WO/2022/225455.
- Developed a framework for address parsing and matching using geodata and natural language processing (NLP). Trained it on over 20 million properties from Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia.
- Built a floor plan processing framework that extracts property information, generates composite floor plans based on multiple schematics, and restyles the property's floor plan into a design format.
- Developed a property imputer that processes high-rise building data, identifies valid stacks and residential and commercial floors, and uses imputation techniques to generate data for the missing properties.
- Built a record-matching library capable of computing similarity for categorical, textual, and numerical features using NLP and unsupervised learning models.
- Analyzed governmental public transport data to identify daily traffic patterns, compute shop-front traffic numbers, and estimate the impact of property development on commute times.
- Developed a land lot and address-matching project that can combine real-estate data from unconnected sources based on geodata analysis. The matching can handle complex land lot allocation and unmapped addresses.
- Built a geodata integration framework to coalesce property data from multiple open source mapping services.

Experience
Real Estate Price Prediction Model
https://www.sumobrain.com/patents/wipo/System-generating-value-index-properties/WO2022191775A1.htmlAs a key developer in the project, I worked on developing a real estate price prediction model combining hedonic and machine learning approaches. This work resulted in obtaining the patent, number WO/2022/191775, while working for Real Estate Analytics.
Framework for Deduplication of Real Estate Property Listings
https://www.sumobrain.com/patents/wipo/System-generating-deduplicated-property-listing/WO2022225455A1.htmlThe record-linking framework allows the consolidation and deduplication of real estate property listings across multiple data sources. I played a key role in developing this framework, and as a result, the project was patented under the number WO/2022/225455.
AI-based Video Surveillance Systems
Contracted by Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority and Resorts World Sentosa, we developed video surveillance systems to secure national borders. My work involved creating algorithms for detecting abnormal behavior using flow detection, object detection, and event clustering. These algorithms allow AI models to be unsupervised and reinforcement learning for event detections.
Contact Tracing for COVID-19
https://www.facebook.com/startupweekendsingapore/videos/2845367015571613A project proposal that I developed for contact tracing for COVID-19. The proposal entered the top 12 at the Startup Weekend Singapore 2020 competition. The CANTrack track project uses EZ-Link cards to identify exposure periods and environmental simulation models to determine risk coefficients.
Real-estate High-rise Property Imputer
The imputer is used to fill information gaps in real-estate data. As a key developer, I built a framework that processes high-rise building data, identifies valid stacks, automatically classifies residential and commercial spaces, and uses imputation techniques to generate data for the missing properties in the building's estimated schematics.
AI-based Record Matching and Recommendation System
As a key developer, I built a record-matching framework capable of computing similarity over mixed categorical, textual, and numerical features. The framework uses NLP processing to compute textual feature similarities. An ensemble architecture uses unsupervised and reinforced learning to maximize identity-to-non-identity separation.
