Work History

O-RAN Research Engineer

FCC Lab — SUTD
  • Energy-saving rApp + traffic-steering rApp → up to 17% gNB energy reduction; PlugFest-validated.
  • Time-series predictor (LSTM/XGBoost/CatBoost/RandomForest) with sub-second inference; integrated into rApp policies.
  • React + Python API + InfluxDB + Grafana stack; real-time KPIs and admin controls (audit log).
  • Multi-vendor E2/xApp interoperability; authored test plans and defect triage to demo readiness.
  • Collaborated with a team of 3 to develop and patent an ORAN-compliant energy-saving rApp with traffic-steering rApp in an end-to-end test scenario involving gNBs and Near-RT RIC and Non-RT RIC and SMO to achieve an energy-saving of up to 17%.
  • Independently designed and trained AI-based gNB traffic predictor in a 5G environment, integrated within end-to-end 5G environment utilising both commercial and open-source products.
  • Independently developed an end-to-end scalable and containerized full stack solution, from front-end GUI with React+JSS and backend and database solution involving SQL and InfluxDB for real-time monitoring.
  • Worked with multiple local and international vendor and mobile network providers, driving vendor collaboration and ORAN certification via biannual regional PlugFests to demonstrate vendors and providers’ product maturity and readiness for public use.
