Ian holds graduate and undergraduate degrees in Management Science & Engineering (Stanford University) and Applied Mathematics & Economics (University of California, Berkeley). His computational expertise was developed through graduate studies in Computational Engineering and Machine Learning, followed by professional experience as a quantitative risk manager at Barclays Investment Bank. This professional role involved extensive data analysis and the development of financial models using Python, R, VB.NET, and FORTRAN, further sharpening his technical skills.
Ian's passion for education led him to found SG Code Campus, where he designs curricula for students of all ages and backgrounds in areas such as Web & Mobile programming, Cloud Computing, and Data Science. His teaching extends to Singapore Management University Academy, where he delivers the Advanced Certificate in Applied Data Analytics and Certificate in Technology Foundations courses to working professionals. Additionally, his technical leadership is exercised as Chief Technology Officer, overseeing systems deployed on AWS and Google clouds.

Awarded the DSTA Overseas Scholarship, Huiliang earned a Masters of Science and Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, with a Minor in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. His career began at DSTA, where he applied his technical and project management skills to oversee the acquisition of modelling and simulation systems critical to SAF training.
Huiliang's expertise was subsequently sought in the private education sector at Indigo Education Group, one of Singapore's largest private education companies. Here he led the technology department, employing Python and data analytics to derive actionable insights from student enrolment and demographic data. Additionally, he managed Indigo's online learning platform, spearheading the design, development, and integration of ERP and CRM applications to ensure operational efficiency.
Motivated by a passion for math, science, and engineering, Huiliang is an educator who believes in the power of real-world applications to ignite programming interest. He extends this philosophy to his role at the Singapore Management University Academy, where he teaches introductory Python and Data Science classes to working professionals under the Professional Certificate in Python Programming programme.
