Dr. Alfred Ang has worked with machine learning as a researcher, a certified practitioner and a developer who now writes much of his code alongside AI assistants. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from NUS, an MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU and a B.Sc (Hons) in Physics from NUS, and he has published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers and co-invented more than 20 US patents after working in the defence, electronics and semiconductor industries. He went on to complete a Graduate Diploma in Intelligent Robotics Systems at NUS-ISS, and his certifications include Microsoft Certified Data Scientist (DP-100) and AI Engineer Associate (AI-102), AWS Certified AI Practitioner, and IBM certified instructor status for the AI Practitioners course. As a full-stack AI developer and Agentic AI solution architect, he is Managing Director, CIO, CTO and Chief Instructional Designer of Tertiary Infotech Academy Pte Ltd and founder of Tertiary Courses. His GitHub, with more than 300 public repositories, reflects both strands of this course: data-mining-ml-labs is a set of interactive Python and Streamlit labs for beginner data mining and machine learning, while skills is a published collection of Claude Code skills, and wsq-casl-cp-generator is a Streamlit web app powered by Claude Code content generation. He works with AI coding assistants as a matter of routine, which is exactly the workflow this WSQ course teaches.
In WSQ - AI Vibe Coding for Machine Learning, Dr. Ang shows learners how to describe what they want in natural language, let an AI coding assistant generate the Python, and then read, test and improve that code until they understand every line. The course begins with AI vibe coding and machine learning fundamentals, including importing, cleaning, transforming and encoding data so that scikit-learn can use it. Learners then tackle data classification and performance evaluation, training classifiers and judging them with confusion matrices, accuracy, precision and recall rather than a single headline number. Regression analysis and predictive modelling follow, then clustering for customer or data segmentation, and finally principal component analysis for dimensionality reduction and visualisation. His research background means he explains why each algorithm works, not just how to call it, and he is quick to point out when AI-generated code produces a plausible but wrong answer, such as leaking test data into training or misreading a metric. Every topic ends with a working notebook or small application that learners have built and debugged themselves, in the same spirit as his interactive machine learning labs. As an ACTA-certified trainer and DACE-certified curriculum developer, he paces the course for professionals with little programming experience, so they leave able to prototype real machine learning solutions with AI as a capable but closely supervised assistant. Learners also practise writing clear prompts that specify data, features and evaluation metrics so the AI produces code worth keeping.
