JF Spark · portfolio

Builder in the middle of disconnected domains.

JF converts messy operational reality into hosted systems — industrial R&D and GTM at Ingredion, Singapore operator tools on the shore, a software factory called Portkey.

Public face is JF. Full name and CV depth live on LinkedIn. Proofs are URLs you can phone. No invented pipeline.

Hire for

Seats where connection is the job.

  • Multi-agent systems that hit a named host
  • Decision quality you can inspect
  • Domain-deep tools for operators, not vibe prototypes
  • Connecting disconnected sources until a next step appears

Selected work

Four cases. Public numbers only.

Ingredion

2009 — now

Ship the assistant. Skip the six-figure bid.

Innovation Manager, Industrial Solutions, APAC & EMEA. Built and scaled generative assistants across technical and GTM seats — more than 200 professionals — instead of buying a 100k+ consultancy. Running cost on the resume: about SGD 200. Same instinct as the factory: connection across domains, then a tool people actually open.

200+ seats on an in-house assistant. Chosen over a consultancy bid.

Modest lore only. No formulas, customers, or internal coefficients.

Ingredion

Lab → GTM

New product revenue, earned in the plant.

Application Manager through 2025: end-to-end product work, customer collaboration, regional GTM across APAC. New product revenue on the resume moved from SGD 3M (2015) to SGD 18M (2025). Earlier path was Lab Technician → Chemist → Applications Engineer → Project Leader — DOE, Six Sigma, technology transfer across Indonesia, China, Thailand.

SGD 3M → 18M new product revenue (2015–2025).

BSc Chemistry with Merit, NUS 2009. Notice listed at two months.

Shore

Operator craft

Proofs an agent can open on a phone.

Singapore real-estate operator work, no firm rank on this host. SGD 5.1M sales lore is allowed. Nemoclaw Property is BSD, ABSD, yield, cashflow with steps a client can see. Realtor craft writes usable posts in a mentor voice. School Workings stays on its own host. Nemoclaw the old agent OS is DNA, not a rebuild.

Three hosted operator tools. Beachhead ~37k CEA salespersons.

No Associate Director / PropNex title here. CV depth is LinkedIn.

Portkey

Solo builder · brand JF

A factory for people software forgot.

Portkey ships production micro-apps: describe → factory → hosted tool that can evolve. TravelMagic proved calm structured itineraries for a couple. FirePath, PriceOracle, NeedMap, IdeaToMonopoly, Fridge Tonight sit on the same foundation. First paid dial is Property Operator at SGD 99/mo. No invented customers, waitlists, or ARR on this page.

A family of live hosts. Build+Host is the offer.

Family nav does not live on this host. PayNow stays off Spark.

Hosted proofs

Phone these. They are the work.

Selective *.jfplanb.com only. A git SHA is not what a hiring manager loads.

How the work is reasoned

Ontology and agents, Portkey-sized.

Palantir-shaped means the tree — data, logic, action, security, lineage as the spine — not employment. Agents here are seats with holds. The living graph sits on Brain; the inspectable tree is Lineage Hall.

Lineage

Name the source

A number without lineage is decoration. Tickets compress. They do not paste the whole factory into one chat.

Agents

Seats, not chatbots

Chief coordinates. Super one-shots new apps and does not rebuild live SKUs. Canary phones the host — git SHA is not the product. Scout works the book that already exists.

Edges

What crosses

Typed relations: powers, requires, feeds, supports, showcases. Status is not a dependency. If you cannot say what moves across the arrow, the arrow is fake.

Holds

Failure domains

One room per failure domain. Full / Quick / Graph stay unmerged because they were meant to. Secrets stay off this world. Idle is allowed when the ticket is already live.

Path

Lab, then shore, then factory — in the order they were earned.

  1. 01

    The lab

    Ingredion

    2009 — now

    Innovation Manager, Industrial Solutions, EMEA and APAC. Chemistry to GTM. Built Copilot agents for 200 seats instead of buying a six-figure consultancy. Connection across domains is the craft.

  2. 02

    The shore

    Singapore operator

    Show flat, not a brochure

    Real-estate operator craft — no firm rank on this page. SGD 5.1M sales lore. The proofs you can phone: Property, Realtor craft, School Workings. Not a fictional funnel.

  3. 03

    The factory

    Portkey

    Solo builder · brand JF

    A software factory for underserved operators. TravelMagic, Nemoclaw, micro-apps that stay hosted. Describe → factory → a tool that can evolve. No invented customers.

Rooms

Depth, if you want it.
