Dr. Alfred Ang works across the major cloud platforms, and he brings that comparative view to Google Cloud's machine learning stack. His certifications include AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AI Practitioner and Cloud Practitioner, and Microsoft Certified Data Scientist (DP-100) and AI Engineer Associate (AI-102), so he knows the scenario-based style of professional cloud certification well. He builds with Google's AI tooling directly too: the Google Gemini Agent SDK is among the agent frameworks he uses, n8n-ragdemo is a no-code RAG demo in which a Telegram AI agent powered by Google Gemini answers questions from uploaded documents, and bakerycourses-demo pairs a landing site with an n8n and Gemini course chatbot. As founder of Tertiary Courses and Managing Director, CIO, CTO and Chief Instructional Designer of Tertiary Infotech Academy Pte Ltd, he is a full-stack AI developer and Agentic AI solution architect whose work spans data engineering, machine learning, Kubernetes and DevOps. He is also an IBM certified instructor for the AI Practitioners course and completed a Graduate Diploma in Intelligent Robotics Systems at NUS-ISS. 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 has published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers and co-invented more than 20 US patents. His data-mining-ml-labs repository, a set of interactive Python and Streamlit labs, shows the lab-first way he teaches machine learning.
In WSQ - Google Professional Machine Learning Engineer Training, Dr. Ang prepares learners to design, build and productionise machine learning solutions on Google Cloud and to sit the certification exam with confidence. The course begins with big data and machine learning fundamentals: the data-to-AI lifecycle on Google Cloud, streaming pipelines with Dataflow and Pub/Sub, and the options for building ML solutions. It then covers how Google does machine learning with Vertex AI, including AutoML, best practices and responsible AI, before launching into machine learning with data quality checks, exploratory analysis, BigQuery ML and model evaluation using loss functions and performance metrics. The TensorFlow topic builds Keras models with the Sequential and Functional APIs, uses tf.data for large datasets and trains and deploys at scale on Vertex AI, and the feature engineering topic introduces Vertex AI Feature Store and techniques for better features. He maps Google services to their AWS and Azure equivalents, which helps learners who already know another cloud and reinforces the architecture reasoning the exam rewards. His Kubernetes and DevOps experience informs the discussions on pipelines, reproducibility and monitoring, and his AI ethics and governance training underpins the responsible AI content. Sessions combine hands-on labs with exam-style scenario questions so learners practise both building and choosing. As an ACTA-certified trainer and DACE-certified curriculum developer, he structures revision around the exam guide so learners know where to focus.
