Invigilo deployments on sites, rigs and vessels
awards and honours since 2017
I founded Invigilo AI in Singapore in 2020, after Materials Science and Engineering at NUS and a year in Silicon Valley with UC Berkeley and Stanford. Our Safety Intelligence platform turns the cameras a site already owns into a safety team that never clocks off. It runs on offshore drilling vessels, Vision 2030 projects in Saudi Arabia and MRT tunnels in Singapore.
Before we wrote much code, we lived on rigs, construction sites and in the desert to learn the problem. Today I also run the company itself on AI agents, from sales to proposals, and I share what works and what breaks.
Away from work, I ran my school's astronomy club and still read astrophysics and particle physics.
Build things. Conduct experiments. Impact the world.Written on my student portfolio in 2017. It still reads like the plan.
One company that worked, and the experiments that taught me how.
Safety Intelligence for high-risk industries. The platform turns the cameras a site already owns into a safety team that never clocks off, with close to 200 deployments on sites, rigs and vessels.

Keynotes, panels, firesides and hands-on workshops, in person or online. Every talk comes from work on real sites and a company that runs on agents, not from theory.
How a 40-person company runs on AI agents, shown live. What the agents do on a normal Monday, what broke, what I will never let an agent do, and how every mistake became a rule.
Sites have thousands of cameras and nobody can watch them all. How AI turns footage into closed actions, from offshore vessels to Saudi giga-projects.
Getting AI to work where people wear boots, not lanyards. Why pilots stall, how to win over site teams, and what changes from Asia to the Gulf.
