Complex structured data engineering: Hands-on work with deeply nested XML document models, including Akoma Ntoso, the international open standard for legal documents. Parsing, transforming, validating and diffing structures well beyond typical CRUD data.
Applied LLM engineering: Small-scale pilots using LLMs for structured tasks, such as converting plain-language amendment instructions into precise document edits. Covers prompt design, output validation, and evaluating model reliability where accuracy is non-negotiable.
Web-based editor development: Exposure to structured document editor frameworks and the frontend challenges of tracked changes, renumbering, and rendering complex documents in the browser.
Data conversion and migration: Building and testing pipelines that convert legacy proprietary formats into open standards, with automated validation of conversion fidelity.
Engineering in a high-stakes public sector product: A system where the deliverable is Singapore's authoritative legislation. The testing discipline, edge-case thinking, and quality bar sit well above typical app development.
