By day, I am a Systems Design Engineer architecting reference solutions for things like high-voltage motor drives, portable medical devices, data centers, and renewable energy. By night (and on weekends), I am usually surrounded by a mess of wires, a soldering iron, and a terminal window, building custom audio amplifiers, guitar pedals, or making my own wireless CCTV device just for the fun of it.
For over seven years, my career has been rooted in the semiconductor and power electronics industries. I've had the chance to lead global NPI projects, push high-current silicon to its absolute limits, present in technical conferences, and be deployed globally to support customers and field engineers across Asia, Europe, and North America.
Right now, my engineering focus is evolving. I’m currently completing a Diploma in Computer Science to formally bridge the gap between heavy hardware and advanced software. Whether it's training AI models to understand PCB workflows or writing embedded C for microcontrollers, I love operating at the intersection where physical hardware meets intelligent software.
