About me

Evan Yap smiling, in a navy suit and burgundy tie, standing in an office.

I’m a builder. I ship systems, then prove they work.

I’m Evan, studying Engineering Systems and Design at SUTD on a dual degree with a Master’s in Technology Entrepreneurship, as one of six Technology Entrepreneurship Programme scholars. I’m targeting software engineering, AI engineering and quant roles.

I own what I build end to end. At Univers I built and deployed an internal AI research agent that automates ESG disclosure research and claim verification, and calibrated an HVAC energy model to within 2–3 percentage points of observed consumption.

I measure before I believe. I built a trading system and tested four ideas for an edge on it, including a Claude agent, out of sample and corrected for luck. None beat holding the index, so the LLM came out and the system runs in shadow mode. In my assistant bot, a three-model chain that tries the cheapest model first cut cost per call by about 65%.

Before university I was a Detachment Commander in the 1st Commando Battalion, leading a detachment of 12 in a unit named Best Combat Unit for 2023/24. Now I captain SUTD’s men’s floorball team and enjoy powerlifting.
