Open to graduate software roles in Singapore

Hi!👋 I'm Benjamin

and I'm

Software Engineering (Honours) graduate from Monash University Malaysia. I build production software end to end — from React storefronts and Node APIs to Odoo ERP modules, C#/.NET internal platforms and live business websites. Most recently a Full Stack Software Engineering Intern at Western Digital, where I built MatIndex, a code-health platform adopted by engineering teams in Malaysia and India.

About Me

My introduction
Benjamin Tan at Western Digital

I'm Benjamin Tan En Zhe, a Software Engineering (Honours) graduate from Monash University Malaysia. Through internships at Western Digital and Radiant GlobalTech, an Odoo developer role at ERS Energy and live websites for three local businesses, I've worked across the full stack — designing data pipelines and APIs, customising ERP platforms, and building interfaces people actually use day to day.

What I enjoy most is the point where engineering meets the business: understanding what a team is really trying to do, then delivering something maintainable within a real budget and a real deadline. At ERS Energy that meant replacing a proposed third-party feature with a purpose-built Odoo helpdesk system and saving roughly USD 40,000. I also lead outside of code — as Vice-President and Head Coach of the Monash Tennis Club, where I ran the Monash Cup 2025 and won bronze in it, and as an event manager for two student chapters.

EcoRoute app screens: driving route options with CO₂ per route, a live eco-driving nudge and a trip review

EcoRoute — Carbon Aware Route Planner

My Final Year Project at Monash, built in a team of three. Using only a phone, EcoRoute suggests least-time, least-energy and balanced driving routes, nudges drivers in real time when their driving wastes energy, and works out each trip's CO₂. It runs on NREL's RouteE Compass and FASTSim, with an XGBoost driving-behaviour model (0.946 weighted F1) explained with SHAP.

EcoStyle — Sustainable Fashion E-Commerce

Full-stack storefront and admin platform for ethical fashion. Product browsing, wishlists, cart and Stripe checkout on the customer side; real-time inventory and order management on the admin side via Firestore. I led the team as Scrum Master and built both the React frontend and the Node REST API.
