Swyam Gupta

Software Engineer · Hong Kong · Open to 2027 graduate roles

I'm a final-year Computer Engineering student at HKUST. I build systems where being wrong costs money — payouts, reconciliation, trading infrastructure — and I've done it at a YC-backed startup and inside one of Asia's largest banks. Graduating April 2027 and looking for engineering roles.

Experience

RevisionDojo · Software Engineering Intern

2026 — present

Owned payouts, internal BI and lifecycle email revisiondojo.com

Joined as an intern and ended up running three production systems at a YC-backed edtech company, as both their product owner and their engineer: the pipeline that pays ~160 creators every month, Sentinel — the internal BI and CRM platform behind three product brands — and email for four brands.

  • Kept payouts correct under payday deadlines — cross-platform double-payment dedup, a retroactive 2× bonus on an already-invoiced month, and audit scripts proving each fix against production
  • Restored reach to 68,900 students who were wrongly suppressed, with a CDC-driven audience engine (Cloudflare cron → Sequin → Loops) — and stopped a cost-cutting plan that would have re-subscribed people who had opted out

DBS Bank · Product Management Intern

2025

Enterprise payments: IBG, collections and UPI

A summer inside one of Asia's largest banks, rotating through corporate banking, transaction banking and digital payments in India.

  • Evaluated IBG transfers, DBS MAX, EPFO statutory collections and UPI end to end on the bank's internal platforms, from how a corporate client initiates a payment to how it settles and reconciles
  • Compared batch transfers, statutory collections and real-time UPI on speed, cost, failure handling and the operational work each one creates

Philips · Data Analyst & IT Intern

2024

Sales data pipelines, ML and Power BI reporting

An analytics and IT internship building the data layer behind Philips' internal sales reporting end to end: Python, pandas and SQL pipelines, classification models on top, and the Power BI dashboards the business reported from.

  • Built Python, pandas and SQL pipelines that cleaned, joined and aggregated customer sales data for internal analytics
  • Trained and validated classification models on that data, and surfaced their predictions in the Power BI dashboards used for business reporting

ML crypto rotation engine across 66 assets Repository

We built a quant trading system for the SG × HK university Web3 quant hackathon that ranks all 66 tradeable coins every two hours and rotates capital into the strongest, using a regime-aware ML model and three tiers of risk control.

  • Regime detection with a 3-state Gaussian HMM, feeding per-regime LightGBM rankers over 45 features — technicals, cross-asset BTC signals, funding rates and the Fear & Greed index

Security gateway between enterprise data and AI

An enterprise AI gateway that sits between a company's data and the models it uses: it redacts sensitive data before anything leaves, routes each request to the cheapest capable model across 14 providers, and keeps a tamper-evident audit trail for ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR reviews.

  • Real-time PII detection with risk-graded highlighting and confidence scores, redacting before any prompt leaves the network

Autonomous prediction-market research engine

An automated research engine for Polymarket that scans live markets, runs multi-agent simulation ensembles on each one, and only proposes a trade when the edge survives the spread, liquidity and its own uncertainty.

  • Live market discovery and YES/NO order-book pulls from Polymarket's Gamma and CLOB APIs

AI essay grader held to the official IB mark scheme Repository

A grading product for IB Economics essays that marks like an examiner, not a chatbot: the official markbands and score caps are enforced in code, and any grade that doesn't add up is rejected and re-run.

  • Rubric as code: markbands, AO weightings and the mark scheme's hard caps are injected verbatim and enforced outside the model

Career paths as a weighted graph, solved with Dijkstra Repository

A recommendation engine that treats a career as a routing problem: roles are nodes, transitions are weighted edges, and the cost of an edge is the skills you would have to learn.

  • Graph model in NetworkX built from real career-transition data, with required skills stored on every role
