About

As a motivated Electrical Engineering student at the National University of Singapore, I bring a unique blend of hardware and software expertise to every challenge I take on. Currently serving as Team Vice Captain and Low Voltage Engineer at the NUS Formula SAE Team, I design and build the electrical systems that power our race car — from custom STM32-based dashboards and telemetry systems to PCBs, wiring harnesses, and embedded firmware. Beyond the car, I lead as Tech Director at PINUS, driving a team of 20 developers. My background spans embedded systems, full-stack development, and robotics — including autonomous mobile robots at SICK AG and award-winning projects like the Kiasu Hawker system. Proficient in React, Python, C/C++, ROS, and more, I thrive at the intersection of engineering and technology.
