About Myself

I love Circuits Design.

Growing up, I was always fascinated by the integral role circuits play in our everyday lives. Whether it was the computer I used to complete my assignments or the gauges in my parents' vehicle, I found myself constantly curious about how the microchips and transistors on the motherboard worked to bring these devices to life.

Driven by this curiosity, I began exploring circuit design as a hobby. I conducted self-directed research and dismantled various household electronics, from tiny radios to the engine control unit in my mom’s car, to better understand the inner workings of these intricate circuits. Even when my experiments occasionally resulted in magic smoke or small explosions, these challenges only fueled my determination to improve my skills and deepen my passion for building electronic projects. This journey began in middle school and continued to evolve.

What started with small projects like a bionic finger and a motorized garbage bin soon expanded to more complex endeavors during high school, including line-following robots, the remote controlled clock tower, and the recent motorized electric trolley with AI object tracking.

These experiences ultimately inspired me to pursue Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, where I’m now surrounded with lots resources, amazing professors, and design teams that will help me further expand my learning and develop amazing projects that can potentially shape society.

Side Gig‍

Audio/Visual Engineer
‍

Despite the challenges faced in my everyday tasks to get to where I am today, I have always felt the work-life balance with the help of Audio and Light Waves. Seeing the stunning graphics and hearing the immersive sound, I have also developed passion for working with A/V Systems.

Through the support of my computer engineering teacher and my strong background in circuits design, I started this gig by setting up the sound system for my school's assemblies.

As my knowledge in computer networking began to expand, I continued this journey by configuring more advanced digital video and audio systems. From setting up multi in-multi out NDI video system for my school's First Lego League event to the audio system for community center's event like the multicultural dance festival, I always felt proud to see how my skillsets are positively utilized to help run major community events.

My role as a A/V engineer was most noticeable in the school's NTS dramafest competition. Along with my custom build remote-controlled clock tower, I also provided guidance for a 9th grade audio crew. Through this effort, I received set design award in the Regional and District competition while my drama teacher was impressed with my efforts to resolve sound system difficulties.

Hobbies and Interests

Aside from the projects, I also like to enjoy life though travelling and recreational events such as surfing and skiing.
