About

I'm a Mechanical Engineering graduate from Nanyang Technological University, with a specialization in Robotics and Mechatronics. Currently, I work as a Control Algorithm Engineer at Tuodao, where I develop advanced control strategies for robotic systems. With a foundation in both biology (from my junior college studies) and engineering, I’m particularly passionate about the intersection of robotics and medicine. I believe in the transformative potential of medical robotics to improve lives, and it motivates me deeply to contribute to innovations that can make a real difference in patient care and human well-being. My background includes hands-on experience in embedded systems, sensor integration, motion control, and system modeling. I enjoy tackling complex challenges by combining systematic problem-solving with creative thinking. I’m proficient in C, C++, and Java, with hands-on experience in developing low-level and high-level software for robotics applications. I have worked extensively with microcontrollers (Arduino , CubeOrange+, ARM Cortex-M, VEX Cortex) and real-time systems, where I designed and optimized control algorithms for responsiveness and stability. Curious by nature and always eager to learn, I’m constantly exploring new ideas across disciplines. I’m excited to connect with like-minded professionals and those from other fields — to exchange knowledge, grow together, and collaboratively solve meaningful problems.
