C-level operator shipping governed enterprise AI · Green infrastructure · Nature-based carbon & climate finance · Singapore–Indonesia

I take enterprise AI from executive intent to governed systems that hold up in front of investors and regulators, and I run the businesses that need it: green infrastructure, energy transition and nature-based carbon across Singapore and Indonesia.


Built and launched

Three free entry points into 180Climate's origination pipeline. Forest owners, exporters and project developers get a fast, useful answer, and we start the conversation.

Tool What it does
Carbon Pre-Feasibility Screening Turns a costly, weeks-long first-stage carbon study into a free screen that runs in minutes: an indicative credit range with an IPCC Tier label, a forest-loss map and an auto-routed methodology for Indonesian concession holders.
EUDR Plot Check Screens export plots of palm oil, rubber, timber, cocoa and coffee against the EU's own JRC forest baseline plus global satellite loss and radar alerts, with findings in hectares and a geolocation pack for due-diligence statements.
Fieldwork Network An invite-only network connecting project developers with qualified field practitioners across Indonesia, starting with a free trial.

Source, architecture and decision records: 180climate-app

How I build

  • One foundation, two products. Carbon screening and EUDR plot checks are the same geospatial question asked twice, so both run on one typed core and one satellite-data layer: two products for close to the cost of one.
  • Every number traceable. Deterministic calculation engines, uncertainty carried as a range, and a calculation trace that shows every input and intermediate value.
  • Guardrails in the build, not the brochure. The type system and CI block an unsupported claim before it can ship.
  • I direct the agents and own the calls. I designed and run a role-separated agent harness (writer, reviewer, verifier, test-writer) that builds against my specifications. I set the architecture, the acceptance criteria and every release gate. Concept to launch in weeks.
  • Governance by design. Designed in line with the IMDA Model AI Governance Framework (including its agentic-AI guidance), MAS FEAT where financial decisions are touched, and PDPA.

Under the hood: architecture · 18 decision records · 460+ automated tests · agent roles · tagged releases

Also building

  • LLM Decision Lab: puts four models' answers to one question under a single rubric, with two-pass judging, adversarial review and human escalation for close calls.
  • Governed Audio Learning Pipeline: turns spoken material into governed knowledge (transcripts, quality-scored summaries and a growing concept map), with a publish gate between private raw material and public output.
  • AI Vendor Monitor: tracks official AI-vendor sources and distils them into a curated digest.

Leadership

  • Co-Founder & COO, 180Climate (2023–): nature-based carbon origination and structuring, with a four-site REDD+ and IFM portfolio across Riau and Kalimantan.
  • VP Business Development, Aserra Partners (2022–): waste-to-energy consortium facilitation and electric heavy-haulage in Indonesia.
  • Chief Operating & Commercial Officer, PT Ocean Metal Indo (2011–2023): took a regulated 11,260-hectare industrial asset from greenfield through production, including a managed divestiture process.
  • President Director & Country Manager, Gemalto Indonesia (now Thales): government-tender consortia for national eID and ePassport programmes; earlier, Oracle E-Business Suite solutioning and solution architecture for Fortune-500 clients.
  • NTU FlexiMasters in Business AI and Technology: CGPA 4.80/5.00 (A+, A+, A, A−, A−).

Always happy to compare notes.
