Summary

Hi! I’m currently studying Aerospace Electronics at Singapore Polytechnic, where I’ve built a solid foundation in circuit design, embedded systems, and hands-on engineering. I love solving problems practically—whether it’s prototyping autonomous robots or building custom electronic systems.

One of my most meaningful projects was an Autonomous Donation Collection Robot, featured at my school’s CDIO Festival. I integrated IR and ultrasonic sensors, DC motors, and microcontrollers to enable object detection and autonomous navigation. This experience taught me a lot about system integration, collaboration, and thinking on my feet.

Outside of academics, I run a startup on Carousell where I help customers build custom mechanical keyboards and high-performance PCs. I handle everything from sourcing components to soldering, firmware programming, and installing custom water-cooling loops for more advanced projects. These projects have sharpened both my technical and customer-focused skills—especially problem-solving and attention to detail.

I’m also a competitive cyclist training with Garcia Test Team. Although I wasn’t selected in my first national trial, I’m continuing to train hard with the goal of making it in future trials and represent Singapore in international races. Cycling has been a huge part of my life—teaching me discipline, resilience, and performance mindset—qualities that directly fuel my engineering journey.

I’m currently looking for opportunities to grow in electrical, aerospace, or embedded systems, and I’m always open to internships, collaborations, or new ideas. Let’s connect!

Volunteer

Cerebral Palsy Alliance
10.2024 - 11.2024

Participated in organizing and supporting the Cerebral Palsy Association’s largest outing, where we brought over 80 beneficiaries to Bird Paradise for a meaningful day of joy and connection. Alongside a team of over 50 volunteers, I helped ensure the event ran smoothly—from assisting with transport and mobility needs to engaging with beneficiaries throughout the day.

This experience gave me a deeper understanding of the importance of empathy, patience, and inclusive design. It was incredibly humbling to connect with individuals with cerebral palsy, listen to their stories, and share moments of laughter. It taught me that meaningful impact often comes from simply being present, and reinforced the value of community, respect, and accessibility for all.

Volunteered with Lakeside Family Services, spending time with elderly residents through board games, meaningful conversations, and emotional support. Beyond playing games, I listened as they shared personal stories and challenges, offering a safe space for them to express themselves. It was fulfilling to see how simply being present and listening made a positive difference in their day.
