About Me

I'm a robotics engineering student with a passion for building cutting-edge technology before it hits the mainstream.

My journey in robotics and automation started early — most of my projects were developed before they became commercially available, always staying ahead of the curve.

When I'm Not Building

Water Sports Badminton Knee Boarding Wake Boarding

Always chasing the next wave.

Past Projects

Some of my smaller projects include:

  • Lego Mindstorms Rubik's Cube Solver — Built from Lego Mindstorm parts. Currently paused due to sensor issues with reflective stickers on the cube (the color sensor may not detect glossy surfaces well).
  • iPhone Glowing Apple Logo — Modified iPhone with a glowing Apple logo backplate using custom LED integration.
  • Gesture Control / VR Setup — Motion capture system with camera tracking and laser depth sensor on tripod for gesture recognition and VR interaction.

A Bit About Me

I am a motivated and diligent worker, looking for an opportunity to show and grow my skills. I am well-versed in multiple programming languages, CAD/CAM, Advanced Intelligent Robotics, knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Computer Vision, ROS, Distributed, Embedded and Interactive Systems and Computer Science.

My passion with mechatronics/robotics and software engineering, since a very early age, began with many hobby design and development projects, over the last 9+ years (see website), developing systems well before most became commercially available.
