Invigilo deployments on sites, rigs and vessels
awards and honours since 2017
I co-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.
One company that worked, and the experiments that taught me how.
Safety Intelligence for high-risk industries, with close to 200 deployments on sites, rigs and vessels.

Every talk comes from work on real sites, 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.
GIA Australia, Haymarket HQ, SydneyA hands-on session with real tools. Participants write, check and build a first agent, using the AI Safety Field Guide from my NSCA masterclass.
Starting a deep-tech company straight out of university in a pandemic, selling to heavy industry, and building the business in Saudi Arabia.
Every arc starts in Singapore. Drag the globe to spin it.
