About

After completing my Diploma in Mechanical Engineering at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I realized my passion for both hardware and software, leading me to pursue a Bachelor of Computing (Hons) in Computer Science at Nanyang Technological University. This was a pivotal moment in my journey — I discovered that my true passion lies in problem-solving and creating efficient, practical solutions through technology. However, it wasn’t always a smooth ride. When I first entered the world of robotics during my internship, I faced steep learning curves. Diagnosing and optimizing robotic systems seemed daunting at first. But by dedicating myself to continuous learning, I overcame the obstacles. I improved robot performance through scripting, analyzed system inefficiencies, and ultimately enhanced the robot’s functionality. What motivates me now is combining my engineering background with software development skills. I’m passionate about working on innovative projects where technology and problem-solving intersect. Whether it's optimizing systems or exploring new ways to improve software, I am always up for a challenge. Currently, I am looking for opportunities to work with teams that tackle complex problems, particularly in the fields of robotics, AI, or software development.
