Experience

  • Member of Technical Staff at DSO National Laboratories
    Aug 2023 - Present · 2 yrs 11 mos

    Perception engineer for robotic systems

  • Research Intern at DSO National Laboratories
    Jun 2020 - Aug 2020 · 3 mos

    Successfully implemented phase correlation and partially implemented local pose‑graph estimation components of the PhaRaO radar odometry paper by Park et. al. in C++, using the OpenCV and Ceres Solver libraries.

  • Infantry Soldier (Recee Trooper) at Singapore Army
    Feb 2017 - Aug 2019 · 2 yrs 7 mos

    Infantry Reconnaissance (Scout) Trooper in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). Completed the gruelling month-long Reconnaissance Trooper Course and awarded the elite "Recon Tab" in March 2018. Part of the first-ever batch of scout troopers to be trained as a motorized recon company. Chosen as part of the elite Mini-UAV drone platoon, and completed the respective courses in August 2018.

  • Research Intern at DSO National Laboratories
    Jan 2017 - Feb 2017 · 2 mos

    Successfully implemented and tested algorithm for communication between a TI-MSP430 microcontroller and an ASIC Chip via the SPI Protocol. Further implemented data transmission from said microcontroller to another via Wi-Fi, to allow wireless processing of data. Algorithm further modified by organisation for their internal applications.

  • Student Intern at DSO National Laboratories
    Apr 2015 - Mar 2016 · 1 yr

    Project Title: Optically-Illuminated Directional Sensing for Guidance and Alignment Systems - Successfully prototyped analog circuit capable of demodulating and amplifying frequency-modulated laser signal. - Programmed algorithm on TI-MSP430 Launchpad microcontroller to parse analog input from circuit. Converted digital signal then used to sense direction of laser-point, and control a novel omni-directional land robot. - Represented Singapore at Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
