Hi there, I'm

Jing Heng

I'm a Year 1 student at Nanyang Polytechnic studying AI & Data Analytics. I love turning data into insights and building intelligent solutions.

A little about me

I'm currently a Year 1 student at Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP), pursuing a diploma in AI & Data Analytics. I'm really curious about how we can use data to solve real-world problems, and how AI is changing everything around us.

Outside of class, I'm a Year 5 student in the SAF Sentinel Programme, where I've picked up discipline, cyber awareness, and digital defence skills while continuing my studies. I'm also actively involved in both the NYP Cloud Computing Club and the NYP SIT Club, helping to organise events and build a stronger tech community on campus.

In competitions, I placed as First Runner Up at BuildingBloCS 2025, took part in the SieberrSec CTF 5.0, and participated in the LSE Regional Data Analytics Challenge 2026. I'm always looking for the next challenge to grow, compete, and collaborate with others.

Roles & Involvement

SAF Digital & Intelligence Service Ongoing

Sentinel Programme – Year 5

I'm serving as a Year 5 cadet in the DIS Sentinel Programme, which is a nationwide initiative that equips youths with cybersecurity and digital defence skills. Through this experience, I've developed discipline, cyber awareness, and resilience alongside my academic studies.

Nanyang Polytechnic 2026 – Present

Cloud Computing Club – Subcommittee

As a subcommittee member of NYP's first cloud interest group, I help organise AWS-focused workshops, events, and hands-on labs that give students practical cloud experience beyond what's covered in the curriculum.

Nanyang Polytechnic 2026 – Present

SIT Club – Subcommittee

I'm an active subcommittee member of the School of Information Technology club, where I help support the broader SIT student community through events, networking sessions, and initiatives that connect students across different IT disciplines.

Things I've built

Horrible-Alexa

This is a homemade AI voice assistant that controls screen brightness and device volume, plays and queues music via YouTube Music, holds conversations, checks the time, sets alarms, and even drafts essays. It runs locally using Ollama (qwen3.5:9b), Whisper STT, and a Supertonic TTS engine with CUDA GPU acceleration.

  • Python
  • Ollama
  • Whisper
  • Deno
  • CUDA

Fishing-Site

This is a school project – a fishing information website that features bestiaries, fishing locations, a community section, an XP/progression system, and a feedback form. I built it collaboratively, handling the full-stack front-end work using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • Bootstrap
  • JSON

More projects are coming soon – I'm currently building cool things in Year 1!
