Deep learning sits at the centre of Dr. Alfred Ang's technical interests, alongside machine learning, robotics and programming. He is an IBM certified instructor for the AI Practitioners course, completed a Graduate Diploma in Intelligent Robotics Systems at NUS-ISS in 2021, and holds Microsoft Certified Data Scientist (DP-100) and AI Engineer Associate (AI-102) as well as AWS Certified Solutions Architect and AI Practitioner. His academic foundation is 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. He also holds a Certificate in AI Ethics and Governance (Senior Professional) from NTU, which informs how he discusses bias in training data. As founder of Tertiary Courses and Managing Director, CIO, CTO and Chief Instructional Designer of Tertiary Infotech Academy Pte Ltd, he works as a full-stack AI developer, Agentic AI solution architect, courseware developer and corporate trainer. Several of his published apps put on-device vision models to practical use: scannerapp-android combines ML Kit edge detection with on-device OCR, passportphotoapp uses on-device background removal and face-aware cropping to produce compliant passport photos, and tapcardapp_android reads paper business cards with on-device OCR. For teaching, his data-mining-ml-labs repository offers interactive Python and Streamlit labs for beginners in data mining and machine learning. He works with AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, for which he has published his own skills, which is exactly the workflow this course teaches.
In WSQ - AI Vibe Coding for Deep Learning, Dr. Ang shows learners how to build neural networks in Python by describing what they want to an AI coding assistant and then testing, explaining and improving the generated code. The course starts with setting up the deep learning environment and the vibe coding workflow, then introduces the core ideas of artificial neurons, layers, activation functions, loss functions, gradient descent and backpropagation through practical builds rather than abstract derivations. Learners apply neural networks to regression and predictive modelling, then to data classification, before moving to convolutional neural networks for image classification. The final topic covers transfer learning and fine-tuning pre-trained models, the approach most real projects use because it achieves strong results with modest data and compute. His physics and engineering background helps him explain why a model is underfitting or overfitting and what a learning curve is really saying, so learners can direct the AI assistant with precise instructions instead of guessing. He insists that learners read and question the code the assistant produces, checking data splits, metrics and tensor shapes before trusting a result. The sessions are hands-on throughout, with each topic ending in a working notebook that learners can extend on their own data. As an ACTA-certified trainer and DACE-certified curriculum developer, he paces the material so that learners without a deep mathematics background can still build and evaluate models with confidence.

In WSQ - AI Vibe Coding for Deep Learning, Solomon guides learners through AI-assisted deep learning workflows, helping them build, train and evaluate neural network and CNN models. Participants set up an AI vibe coding and deep learning environment, use neural networks for regression and predictive modelling and for data classification, apply convolutional neural networks to image classification, and use transfer learning to fine-tune pre-trained models. His teaching emphasises hands-on vibe coding, good practice in model development and real-world case applications, so learners can generate, test and debug code they understand and apply deep learning with confidence.
Dr Alvin Ang holds a PhD in Operations Research from Nanyang Technological University and brings extensive academic and industry expertise in machine learning, AI and optimisation. He has taught at NTU, SUSS, Curtin University and SP Jain School of Global Management, as well as in professional training roles with IBM and Tertiary Infotech, giving him more than a decade of teaching experience. An ACLP-certified trainer, he has earned multiple IBM certifications in machine learning, deep learning and TensorFlow, which he integrates into his course delivery.
In WSQ AI Vibe Coding for Deep Learning, Dr Ang applies this deep learning background to an AI-assisted way of building models in Python. Learners set up their AI vibe coding and deep learning environment, then build neural networks for regression and predictive modelling, neural networks for data classification, and convolutional neural networks for image classification, before moving on to transfer learning and fine-tuning pre-trained models. His structured approach starts with neural network fundamentals so that learners understand the architecture behind the code their assistants generate. Blending theory with practical AI-assisted coding exercises, he ensures participants leave able to design, evaluate and optimise their own deep learning models.
Terence Ee is an independent trainer and consultant who, since 2017, has helped professionals upskill in Python, data analytics and machine learning. He combines this with more than 25 years of experience in technology management, systems integration and digital transformation, including senior roles as Chief Information Officer at the Supreme Court of Singapore and Vice President of Information Systems at Senoko Energy, where he oversaw enterprise-level IT strategy and system development. With academic qualifications in computer science and technology management, he pairs executive insight with technical expertise in software development and emerging technologies. He is also an ACLP-certified, WSQ-accredited trainer.
Terence's approach to AI vibe coding starts with a solid foundation in Python, then guides learners to prompt, validate and refine AI-generated deep learning code rather than accept it blindly. In this course, participants set up their deep learning environment, build neural networks for regression, predictive modelling and data classification, and progress to convolutional neural networks for image classification. The final topic on transfer learning and fine-tuning pre-trained models shows how to achieve strong results without training from scratch. Combining his industry background with hands-on teaching, he ensures learners gain the applied knowledge to implement deep learning confidently in real organisational contexts.
