About Me
I'm a Year 2 Computer Engineering student at the National University of Singapore with a deep passion for robotics and autonomous systems. My journey is driven by a desire to bridge the gap between hardware and software, creating intelligent systems that solve real-world problems.
From developing LiDAR-powered SLAM algorithms to architecting full-stack web applications for system control, I thrive in environments that challenge me to learn and innovate. I'm currently seeking opportunities to apply my skills in a professional setting and contribute to cutting-edge projects.
