Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Hooi is an AI consultant-developer-trainer and former educator with 25 years of experience helping people and organisations build practical capabilities—from hands-on maker skills to AI-enabled workflows. He has co-founded Singapore’s early maker ecosystem (OneMaker Group, ESPert) and translated that community-building experience into designing AI-powered web apps and training programmes through Synthesaize AI and current consultancy work. After returning to formal study in his 50s he grounded himself in computing fundamentals and software engineering (NUS, NTU), so he combines pedagogy with technical depth in React, Node.js, Python and scalable system design. His background delivering adaptive learning systems at ST Engineering and managing prototyping labs at SIT gives him rare expertise at the intersection of learning design, hardware prototyping and applied AI. He focuses on adoption over hype—turning proof-of-concept demos into repeatable programmes and operational solutions for educators, SMEs and public-sector teams. An underrated strength is his track record of making advanced tools feel accessible: he designs pathways that build confidence as much as competence.
