Emmanuel Joseph Portfolio

I have spent more than a decade designing and running learning programmes for children, students, parents, military commanders and corporate teams. Today I lecture at ITE College East, where I coordinate a module across three colleges and received an Individual Commendation Award for bringing generative AI into teaching and assessment.

Before ITE I founded ExSEL, a training consultancy, and led a team of facilitators, counsellors and psychologists. I also facilitate leadership and cohesion workshops for Singapore Armed Forces commanders. And I build what I teach: the app that runs my student club, and a public-sector hackathon project on SAS Viya.

SAS Hackathon 2026 · Public Sector

BTOredi

An early warning, before families move into a new public housing estate, of where childcare, buses and other amenities may fall behind. It joins open data from HDB, ECDA, LTA and SingStat on SAS Viya, forecasts riders at each bus stop, and turns the result into a plain answer for residents, agencies and businesses.

The rebuilt forecast cut average error per bus stop by 26% against a simple baseline.

ITE College East · Entrepreneurship Club

ETP Club app

A Telegram bot and mini app that runs a student club I grew from 8 members to about 90. Members sign up for events, request approved leave, submit consent forms and check in with a QR code that refreshes every 15 seconds. Attendance turns into verified hours, XP and badges.

The club now has its own leadership teams, a fund, and student initiatives that have made over S$4,500 in profit.
