Phaedra Tan //
Data Scientist and AI Engineer

Dynamic and precision-driven AI Engineer and Data Scientist with a background in Computer Science and a history of high-performance discipline as a National Team Athlete. I bring specialized expertise in architecting Singapore-contextualized RAG pipelines, fine-tuning local LLMs (Qwen, Phi), and building full-stack applications with Streamlit, React, and Node.js. I have led initiatives within the Ministry of Manpower (MRSD) to decompose complex job structures for the public sector and automate audit reporting through advanced semantic analysis. A recent technical milestone was the deployment of a secure, automated classification pipeline within a strictly air-gapped environment, enabling the use of GenAI on higher-classification data while maintaining 100% security compliance. Additionally, I engineered predictive risk models using demographic signals and wage trends to forecast firm insolvency, transforming disparate administrative datasets into real-time, actionable insights. Whether optimizing neural networks or managing distributed data systems, I leverage the precision and focus honed in international competition to deliver robust, scalable, and secure technical solutions.
