Hardware-native Product Manager & Robotics Engineer — 6+ years shipping physical tech products across marine robotics and consumer electronics, taking products from prototype to mass production while managing tech teams and stakeholders.
I'm a hardware-native Product Manager with six years building and shipping physical tech products — from smart consumer electronics to marine robotics. I've led cross-functional engineering teams, owning product roadmaps, SDLC, and feature delivery from concept through mass production.
My background started in electronics engineering and robotics, and I've worked across mechanical and software domains as well. Experienced in product roadmapping and people leadership, I've built a track record of aligning engineering teams and business stakeholders toward a shared vision. I'm currently based in Singapore on a Long-Term Visit Pass.
From underwater ROVs to ADAS systems on electric boats — a run through the roles that shaped how I build hardware products.
From electric boats to underwater ROVs — the hardware and software behind the work above.
Position Hold, Heading Hold, and 360° motion control for electric boats. Built a ROS2/C++ sensor fusion library fusing IMU + GPS via a Kalman Filter (2m position, 0.5° orientation accuracy), plus a custom Jetson Nano PCB extension board for Ethernet, PoE, CAN/RS485, and USB.
Aroma, light, and music in one connected device. Owned mechanical design, hardware architecture, firmware, and mobile app from prototype through mass production — then took it to crowdfunding, raising USD $50,000+ from 350+ backers.
Built an Arduino/ATMega soundproof testing box with an I2S MEMS mic to catch noise defects across 5,000+ units, and designed a prototype STM32 PCB with an RGB LED array for what became the Soundbrenner Core/Pulse smart metronome watches.
An automatic calibration library for LiDAR and camera setups using ArUco markers — extracting features from point clouds and image data in ROS/C++ to hit sub-centimeter calibration accuracy, visualized live in RViz.
A dual-layer, modular ROV built for the MATE ROV Competition: 11kg, 550×515×300mm, 5 degrees of freedom, 75+ hours flight-tested. Designed waterproof STM32 PCBs for IMU and pressure sensing, CAN bus communication between modules, and Kalman-filtered auto depth/heading stabilization. Placed 1st internationally in 2017.
A modular at-home diagnostic device reading ECG, heartbeat, and temperature. Built the ESP32-based hardware, Android app UI, and a Firebase backend handling authentication, data storage, and cloud sync.
Part-time. Coursework in contemporary robotics, computer vision, and deep learning. Capstone: a sub-centimeter-accurate LiDAR–camera extrinsic calibration library using ArUco markers, ROS, and C++.
Robotic manipulation, embedded & control systems. Head of Hardware for HKUST Robotics Team's ROV Division — see the ROV project above.
Object-oriented design & programming, digital signal processing.
Recognized as a top 10 contributor among 350+ employees for cross-department collaboration.
Built an underwater ROV to solve simulated tasks, beating the top 20 universities worldwide.
A camera, a climbing wall, and a badminton racket — the analog side of a robotics engineer.
Designing and printing models — an extension of hardware prototyping into a hobby.
Weekly games — the reflex training that off-sets long days at the workbench.
Open to robotics, hardware, and product roles — or just a good conversation about technologies.
