  1. Univers Website Revamp Challenge

    Top 5 · Frontend developer · Sept 2026
    The redesigned Univers homepage: a hero reading “What we can measure, we can transform” beside a live operations dashboard.

    A nine-page interactive redesign of the website for Univers’ EnOS™ Physical AI platform, built with no framework and no build step. It reached the Top 5 against senior solution architects from around the world, and I pitched it live to Univers’ CEO and senior executives.

  2. Personal Assistant Bot

    Full-stack developer · Aug – Sept 2026

    A serverless Telegram assistant that takes text, voice notes or photos and handles calendars, expense tracking, bill splitting and email. A three-tier model router sends each request to the cheapest model that can answer it.

  3. Autonomous Trading Agent

    Developer · Sept 2026

    A swing-trading agent for Webull Singapore cash accounts. A fast model screens the market, a stronger one writes the trade thesis, and a deterministic risk engine has the final say before any order is placed.

  4. Decarbonisation Research Agent

    Full-stack developer · Aug 2026
    The research agent’s interface: a query box with preset topics for ports, HVAC plants and decarbonisation targets, and a Run Client Audit button.

    A research tool for Univers energy engineers and decarbonisation consultants. Ask about a client facility, or paste in an ESG claim, and it retrieves the relevant public reports and PDFs, then answers only from what it retrieved: a cited research brief, or a verdict on the claim with the evidence on each side. Any finding that cites a source it did not retrieve is dropped, and it states what the evidence does not cover.

About

Singapore

I build AI tools that take hours out of real work, then measure whether they did.

Evan Yap smiling, in a navy suit and burgundy tie, standing in an office.

I’m Evan Yap, an Engineering Systems and Design student at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, studying for a dual degree with a Master’s in Technology Entrepreneurship as one of six recipients of its Technology Entrepreneurship Programme Scholarship. I work where data, automation and AI meet: agents that do the research, models that test the assumptions, and interfaces that make the answer easy to act on.

At Univers I’m an AI Business Consultant for aviation, transportation and logistics clients. I built an AI decarbonisation and audit agent that cuts about three hours of manual research from each facility audit, and calibrated an HVAC energy model that lands within 2–3 percentage points of observed consumption. I then turn that analysis into decision-ready business cases for the Senior Director, the Global Lead and senior client stakeholders.

Away from the keyboard I captain SUTD’s men’s floorball team, serve on my house executive committee, train as a HYROX athlete, volunteer in my church’s worship ministry and run on a lot of coffee.

Education

Singapore University of Technology and Design

Bachelor of Engineering (Engineering Systems and Design) and Master of Science in Technology Entrepreneurship, expected May 2030.

One of six recipients of the SUTD Technology Entrepreneurship Programme Scholarship. Coursework in algorithms and object-oriented programming, machine learning, and data modelling and visualisation.

  1. Intern, AI Business Consultant (Aviation, Transportation, Logistics) · Aug 2026 – present

    • Built and deployed an AI decarbonisation and audit agent with Next.js, the Vercel AI SDK and Groq inference. It automates ESG disclosure ingestion and client claim verification, cutting manual research by about three hours per facility audit.
    • Developed and calibrated an HVAC energy-consumption regression model that lands within 2–3 percentage points of observed consumption, used to validate client energy assumptions and find efficiency opportunities.
    • Prioritised AI and energy-management use cases by expected impact, telemetry availability, feasibility and effort, and turned the analysis into business cases and roadmaps for the Senior Director, Global Lead and senior client stakeholders.

  2. EvanYapFitness

    Founder · Sept 2024 – Jan 2026

    • Founded and grew an online coaching brand to 2.2k followers and 10k average views per post by iterating on content analytics and A/B-tested messaging.
    • Designed a structured intake pipeline in Google Forms and Excel covering training history, lifestyle constraints and nutrition habits for more than 20 clients.
    • Set up an AI-assisted workflow with Perplexity to draft training and meal templates from client profiles, which I then refined by hand. It halved the average programming time per client.
