(SCTP) Advanced Data Analytics and Visualisation (Classroom, Synchronous & Asynchronous e-learning)

Hui Kah Seng graduated from NTU School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences with a BSc in Mathematical Sciences, majoring in Statistics.  

Kah Seng has worked on various projects involving analytics, implementation, prediction, and optimisation. The projects covered industrial application, process flow optimisation, automation, prediction, and decision-making. He has worked with our National Water Agency in the field of water usage analytics prior to joining Ngee Ann Polytechnic. 

In his time with NP, Kah Seng has helped kickstart departments’ analytics champions in their journey towards data-approached decisions, streamlining work processes with automation and reducing man-hours on tasks and processes. He was also involved in the implementation of the data-mart within NP and the usage of Tableau as the main analytical tool within the organisation. He has since embarked on CET courses, with successful runs using asynchronous materials that helped many adult learners bridge the gap on Data Analytics.
