Operations research analyst with eight years using mathematical modelling and optimisation to improve complex decisions for a logistics company and an airline in Singapore. Turns messy operational problems into models that find better answers — routing, scheduling, capacity and pricing — using optimisation, simulation and analytics to save real money and improve service. Built an optimisation model that cut logistics costs and a scheduling tool that improved utilisation. Builds optimisation and simulation models, analyses operational data, develops decision tools, quantifies trade-offs, and translates results into recommendations leaders act on. Analytical, rigorous and practical. Looking for an operations-research or decision-analytics role with a company whose hardest problems are worth modelling properly.

Operations Research Analyst

(January 2018 to Present)
Turn messy operational problems into models that find genuinely better answers and save real money.
Built an optimisation model that cut logistics costs and a scheduling tool that improved fleet utilisation.
Build optimisation and simulation models for routing, scheduling and capacity, beating decisions made by intuition.
Analyse large operational datasets, finding the structure and constraints a good model has to capture.
Quantify trade-offs between cost, service and risk, giving leaders a clear basis for hard decisions.
Translate model results into recommendations leaders act on, so the analysis changes what the business does.
Singapore Analytics Group - Singapore

Analyst

(July 2015 to December 2017)
Built models and analysed operational data for clients, learning operations research hands-on each day.
Developed optimisation and analytics work, steadily building modelling and data skills over the years.
Learned optimisation, simulation and data analysis on the job across more than two years.
Gained the experience and expertise that led into an operations-research-analyst role of my own.
Education
National University of Singapore

MSc in Operations Research

August 2013 to June 2015
Master's in operations research covering optimisation, simulation, statistics and decision modelling, with projects. The programme built the mathematical foundation modelling complex operational problems requires. It led directly into the field.
Nanyang Technological University

BSc in Mathematics

August 2009 to June 2013
Degree in mathematics covering optimisation, probability and applied maths. The study built the rigorous quantitative foundation operations research depends on. It set the path into operations research and analytics.
Languages
English (UK)
Full Professional Proficiency
Mandarin
Native or Bilingual Proficiency
Highlights
Trusted with hard problems
Sought out across the business to model its hardest operational decisions, trusted by leaders for both the rigour of his analysis and his ability to turn complex models into clear, actionable recommendations.
Cut logistics costs
Built an optimisation model that cut the company's logistics costs. Turning a routing or scheduling problem into a model that finds a cheaper feasible plan converts maths directly into bottom-line savings.
Improved utilisation
Built a scheduling tool that improved fleet utilisation. Getting more out of expensive assets through smarter scheduling raises capacity and revenue without buying anything, exactly where operations research pays off.
