Work Experience
KABAM Robotics – Software Robotics Intern (Solo On-Site Deployment)
May 2026 – Present (until Dec 2026)
Stack: Jetson Orin AGX, TensorRT, SAM3, YOLO11, FFmpeg, ROS 2, LiDAR SLAM, Nav2 MPPI, CAN bus, MWAN3, Docker
  • Sole On-Site Deployment: Solo on-site robotics engineer for KABAM’s latest patrol robot model of Jul 2026; diagnosed LiDAR SLAM drift, Nav2 MPPI trajectory tracking, autonomous docking, and MWAN3 multi-WAN networking alongside remote engineers.
  • Edge CV Acceleration: Optimized Segment Anything Model (SAM3) vision-language inference on Jetson Orin AGX with TensorRT; piped real-time RTSP/FFmpeg video streams with YOLO11 perception overlays.
  • Diagnostic & Mission Tooling: Shipped cross-platform desktop ROS 2 diagnostics and mobile mission-control tools featuring hardware emergency-stop overrides, CAN bus telemetry decoders, and live LiDAR/occupancy grid streaming.
National University of Singapore – Teaching Assistant (CS2113 Software Engineering & OOP)
Jan 2026 – May 2026
  • Mentored undergraduate teams on Java object-oriented architecture, JUnit test-driven design, Git collaboration, and CI/CD pipelines.
Featured Engineering Projects
Marsham Edge – Counter-Drone Decision Console & Simulation (Lead System Developer in Sensors and Simulation, team of 5) Top 6, SDTH
Sep 2026
Stack: Python, WebSockets, WGS84 Geodesic Transforms, Pytest (236 unit tests), HTML5 Canvas Replay Engine
  • Built 6-sensor output pipeline simulation (Radar, Acoustic, RF, IFF transponder, EO, OSINT) across 6 independent clock domains with physical measurement uncertainty bounds and SHA-256 emitter provenance validation.
  • Built proof-of-concept operator replay console and THALES WGS84-to-local (ENU) coordinate conversion; team system validated by 236 automated unit tests under adversarial drone swarm scenarios.
Aiko – Autonomous Personal OS Agent Runtime (Solo Developer)
Apr 2026 – Present
Stack: TypeScript, Node.js, SQLite, React Native, Tailscale, Ollama, OpenRouter, Qwen3-TTS
  • Designed 5-tier persistent agent memory architecture with hybrid BM25 and vector embeddings unified via Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF); reduced prompt token payload by 69% (109 KB to 34 KB) while preserving long-term temporal grounding.
  • Engineered autonomous multi-model runtime with automatic provider failover, process watchdog supervision, self-healing diagnostic loops, local GPU Qwen3-TTS voice synthesis, and sandboxed event execution.
Agora – Collaborative Multi-Agent IDE & Dev Environment (Lead Developer, team of 3) SUP Buildathon
Jun 2026 – Oct 2026
Stack: TypeScript, VS Code Core Fork, Mattermost Mod, WebSockets, Node.js, Docker
  • Led 3-man development team; architected parallel AI coding agent orchestrator with AST-level Git 3-way merge conflict resolution.
  • Constructed custom Mattermost extension, CLI/API agent harness, and WebSocket state synchronization protocol coordinating concurrent agent modifications within containerized workspaces.
Kampung Kaki – Community Emergency Response & Aid Platform (Solo Developer) Open Finalist, CODE_EXP
May 2026 – Jun 2026
Stack: Python, FastAPI, MQTT 5 QoS 1, Redis, MapLibre GL, OneMap SG GIS, React, Docker
  • Architected distributed event-driven emergency dispatch system; every incident travels as a retained MQTT 5 QoS 1 message with Redis as the shared state, so citizens and first responders, late joiners included, see the same picture.
  • Integrated Singapore OneMap GIS APIs and MapLibre GL vector tiles for dynamic role-segregated tactical operation views.
AnAn – Elderly Care Fall & Inactivity Monitoring Companion (Solo Developer) Tencent Cloud Age Well Social Good Challenge
