Curriculum Vitae

Experience

1. FabLab Technician

   Eastern International University (EIU)

   Oct 2018 – Present

   • Develop autonomous robot and autonomous drone platforms, working across the full stack from PCB design and low-level firmware to high-level autonomy.
   • Technical Lead (Jun–Nov 2026), joint EIU–ARTC (Singapore) project VDA5050 Support for Open-RMF: ROS 2 fleet adapters, an MQTT client adapter with a Nav2 bridge, and a fleet dashboard for a mixed AMR / TurtleBot3 fleet.
   • Autonomy & perception: Visual SLAM, computer vision and ROS 2 navigation — custom Nav2 planner and controller plugins, ros2_control hardware interfaces.
   • Embedded: PCB design for robot controller boards in Altium Designer, and low-level firmware on RTOS — SPI, I2C, UART, CAN bus, Ethernet and Modbus.
   • Organize and teach a weekly workshop series for students on robotics, ROS 2, drones and embedded systems.
   • Mentor student teams in annual robotics competitions — 2nd and 3rd Prize at AUTO RACE 2025 with two teams.
   • Supervise student research papers — Best Paper Award (Student Session) at the EIUSC International Conference 2025.
