TAN WEE JOE

AI Research Engineer

I research and build across AI: mechanistic interpretability, reinforcement learning, world models, multi-agent systems, and alignment for post-AGI futures.

View work & projects

I research AI because understanding it deeply is the only way to make it safe and genuinely useful.

My focus is mechanistic interpretability, reinforcement learning, world models, and multi-agent coordination: the foundations that determine whether post-AGI systems expand human agency or undermine it.

Experience

  1. Tracer

    AI Engineer Intern

    • Built LangGraph-based agent workflows for OpenSRE, turning incident triage, runbooks, and operational tooling into stateful, tool-calling graphs with explicit control flow for production reliability work.
    • Connected observability and SRE systems into those pipelines so multi-step remediation stays traceable, repeatable, and easier to extend than ad-hoc scripts during on-call.
  2. PixelPro Studios

    AI Engineer · Remote

    • Engineered real-time data ingestion pipelines handling high-throughput event streams from 2000+ concurrent users, with production-grade ETL, feature extraction, and anomaly detection for downstream ML workflows.
    • Built and deployed ML-driven automation services that reduced manual overhead by 60% and increased client acquisition by 200%, owning delivery from experimentation to production rollout.
  3. Singapore Army

    Command Systems Platoon Commander

    • Designed PowerShell scripts for real-time status monitoring and automated fault detection, reducing diagnostic time by 75% across critical infrastructure.
    • Directed deployment of hyperconverged infrastructure (Windows Server, Nutanix) for Brigade C2 systems with 99.99% uptime and reliability requirements.
  4. Government Technology Agency (GovTech)

    Software Engineer Intern

    • Built a no-code workflow automation platform using ServiceNow and JavaScript, reducing development cycles and enabling rapid iteration on data-driven processes.
    • Translated complex business requirements into scalable architectures using UML, with emphasis on auditability and compliance-aligned documentation.
  5. Centre for Strategic Infocomm Technologies (CSIT)

    Full-Stack Engineer Intern

    • Built a cloud-native platform using React, TypeScript, Java Spring Boot, MongoDB, and Docker with real-time data pipelines and behavioural analytics, driving a 50% improvement in engagement metrics.
    • Designed data models and filtering logic for longitudinal interaction signals, improving data quality for analytics and potential NLP/LLM downstream use cases.
