“Every step forward is a chance to build something more.”

For Muhammad Syabil Bin Johari, this mindset shaped his journey into tech and AI.

A graduate of the Specialist Diploma in Applied Generative AI at Republic Polytechnic School of Infocomm - RP SOI, Syabil represents the ITE-to-Polytechnic pathway in action. Through the Work-Study Post-Diploma programme, he balanced full-time work with studies and graduated with a GPA of 3.23.

Today, he continues to work at Quantified Energy Labs as a Back-end Data Processing Specialist. His role involves analysing solar panel data and training AI models to detect key features.

Through the course, he developed a deeper understanding of how AI models are trained, allowing him to better interpret solar panel data in his current role. This has enabled him to improve detection accuracy and apply AI solutions more effectively in real-world scenarios.

Building on this knowledge, Syabil has also created small applications to automate routine processes, helping to improve efficiency at work.

His passion for technology and problem-solving continues to grow. He is currently pursuing a part-time degree in Information and Communication Technology at Singapore University of Social Sciences to deepen his expertise.

Looking ahead, Syabil aims to secure a role as a Software Engineer or Data Engineer, where he can apply his technical skills to build solutions with real-world impact. In the long term, he aspires to grow into a senior or project management role, leading teams and contributing strategically to impactful projects.

His journey reflects how continuous learning and hands-on experience can open up real opportunities in the tech industry.

“I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. Social interaction and communication — the very things I’m doing right now — once felt impossible to me,” shares Sheila Khoo, valedictorian from Republic Polytechnic School of Infocomm - RP SOI.

Because of her condition, Sheila dropped out three times during her education journey, retreating from a world where she felt she didn’t belong. It was only after seeing her peers move forward in life that she decided to take a step of her own, enrolling in RP’s Diploma in Information Technology (DIT).

Even as she grappled with coding and network architecture, Sheila pushed herself to stay disciplined and self-motivated — often as the oldest student in her class.

A resilient problem-solver, she never settles for “good enough”. In one module, she went beyond the assignment brief to code a web-based interface that gave engineers real-time visibility into network operations, leaving a strong impression on her lecturers.

During her internship at Synapxe, she designed and streamlined firewall compliance auditing and statistics reporting, making the process far more user-friendly.

“RP transformed me from a fearful and quiet person into an initiative-driven leader who brings people together to achieve a shared goal, like during the DSTA Defence Science and Technology Agency Brainhack Competition,” she reflects.

Her resilience and dedication have earned her multiple Module Prizes, along with the Beta Werkz Scholarship and the Tan Sri (Dr) Tan Chin Tuan Scholarship.

Graduating at 31, Sheila is not your typical polytechnic graduate. She recently received the Wee Cho Yaw Future Leaders Award, and will be pursuing Computer Science with a Minor in Business at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

Congratulations, Sheila. We know you’ll go on to make wherever you are. ✨

Huge thanks to SME Centre@SCCCI for inviting Republic Polytechnic to share insights at "The New Wave of AI: Intelligent Solutions and Adoption." This Executive Workshop and Networking Event was organised in collaboration with DBS, RSM, and RP.

Rudy Ridwen, Programme Chair for our Diploma in Applied AI & Analytics, delivered a keynote on Agentic AI - the next wave of technology moving beyond simple prompts. He showcased an Agentic Procurement solution that demonstrates how organisations can rapidly deploy AI workflows to streamline operations.

The best part? You can build similar use cases yourself by attending our upcoming course, "Agentic AI Workflow Automation with n8n."
