Project highlights

Featured work at a glance.

Auto-Shopper Trolley (EE2111A)

Electrical and hardware lead on a team of 6

Working scaled prototype: an ESP32-S3 mecanum-wheel car that follows a hand using an ultrasonic sensor, with keep-distance control and LED indicators.

Calibur Workshop Inventory System

Designer and builder (website, hardware box, backend)

Replaced a multi-tab Excel stocktake. Invite-only inventory site (600+ tracked items, 50 members) plus an RFID lock-and-weigh storage box prototype.

EcoArbitrage Rack Node (CAT)

Designed the whole controller PCB in KiCad; hardware owner

A hand-designed ESP32 controller PCB with its own 12 V buck converter for a data-centre cooling and scheduling demo.

Experience

Interceptor-drone dock (hackathon)

Calibur Robotics hackathon team

September 2026 – September 2026

Hackathon

Built the dock-to-drone launch link on a team hackathon project: a dock on a competition robot that holds an interceptor quad and launches it on a GO command. Own part: ESP32 dock firmware (soft AP + UDP) bench-tested end to end from a laptop stand-in, LM2596 rail calibrated on the bench supply, parts sourcing and wiring docs. Pogo-pin charging dock scoped out for a next version.

IDEATE hackathon: BerthGuard

IDEATE hackathon team

August 2026 – August 2026

Hackathon

Concept-only entry: an intelligent port safety system with a bollard collar and smart fender sensor to prevent mooring-line snap-back injuries and detect dock impacts. Specified ESP32, inline load cells, IP68 IMUs and ESP-NOW telemetry feeding a real-time risk dashboard, with OCIMF MEG4 load calculations, a PDR and an estimated BOM.

Electrical Lead, hardware sub-team of 6

Calibur Robotics

May 2026 – Present

LeadershipCurrent

Calibur Robotics member since August 2025; electrical lead since May 2026. Lead and coordinate a six-person hardware sub-team, managing robot work across serial communication, custom PCB fabrication and wiring. Built the team's workshop inventory system (Supabase/Netlify website, 600+ tracked items, 50 members, plus an RFID lock-and-weigh box prototype). Validated, hand-soldered and tested the senior-designed STM32 supercap controller board, then calibrated its firmware and integrated it on the robot. Also part of the team's interceptor-drone dock hackathon project. Soft skills in practice: delegating, documenting handovers, keeping a mixed-year team unblocked.
