ENGINEERING PORTFOLIO
Each project incorporates a mix of modern principles stemming from R&D Mechanical, Electrical and Embedded/ML/Software Design. Backed by industry best practices, i.e Art of Electronics, Shiggley's Mechanical Handbook
I yearn for learning and optimizing hardware products -- especially for reverse engineering existing components + finding a way to noveltize it with unique features using the power of creativity
Single-handedly developed a functionable, bipedal locomotion capable human-scaled robot. This robot is able to walk on its own at a reasonable pace without too detectable of a sway. If falling, reinforcement learning (PPO Policy) algorithmns are present, ensuring it can adjust to get back on its feet in no time. The robot did not serve for aesthetics but for performance and characterization testability, allowing future generations to be commence right away without needing to reinvent the wheel.
Developed a handheld device that can stick to any surface (ie. wall mount, door linked for unlock/lock pemittance) and utilise retina scanning to capture vast lists of real-time, accurate biometric information of the individual at-hand. Data captured includes blood pressure spiking trend finding, oxygen level detection for aeronautical conditions or toxic hazardous environments, emotional intention prediction with facial landmarks and more. Security Encryption is subjected to only Top-Secret (TCS) Level Individuals who have the Security Clerance to enter the rooms of Confidential Chambers.
This project centered on creating a rugged, high-performance wearable for real-time augmented reality fitness. As a customer focus purpose, this consumer-ready form factor wearable was multi-purposed to be water-proofed as well as have live tracking for if ever lost. Think, submarine engineers, swimmers, runners lost in the woods. Potential future can be cross-syncing with other consumers to allow friendly tagging of competing for better mile run-time as a promotion for health fitness.
Automatic Belayer - Rock Climbing Fall Prevention Device
Device Ensuring rock climbers will not fall, decreasing potential daredevil adventurers' mortality rate especially in environments where there is minimal support allowed. Constraints include the lack of additional peers who could assist in their belaying system, such as when particupating in climbing on a steep cliff with foggy weather.
