Victor Kiat is a Senior Deposition Engineer based in Singapore with 7 years’ experience driving semiconductor process improvements from EUV deposition to lithography back-end. He has led cross-functional NPI and cost-reduction projects at HOYA and GlobalFoundries, delivering measurable yield gains and a half‑million-dollar annual chemical cost saving from photoresist qualification. Comfortable bridging R&D and manufacturing, he builds automation and analytics (Power BI, VBA, machine-to-server pipelines) to turn shop-floor data into actionable feedback loops and AI-assisted parameter tuning. A pragmatic mentor and project driver, he has reduced hotspot rates dramatically and trained engineers on tool troubleshooting and analytics. Unusually for a fabrication engineer, he contributes to ML infrastructure projects on GitHub, reflecting a growing blend of semiconductor process expertise and applied machine learning interest.
