Project Gamma
Working with React 18 and TypeScript, I embarked on a journey to architect scalable frontends that truly resonated with my growing expertise. I made it a point to craft reusable components, which not only streamlined my development process but also deepened my appreciation for modularity. Embracing TypeScript's strong typing became a personal milestone, as it allowed me to prevent runtime errors and instil a sense of consistency across the user interface—a challenge I initially underestimated. One of the most rewarding discoveries was the power of the Context API, which I implemented to manage authentication state globally. This experience taught me how to elegantly wrap protected views, giving me a profound sense of accomplishment as I ensured the UI seamlessly adapted to shifts in authentication state. Reflecting on this, I recognize how these practices have shaped my approach, blending technical skill with a thoughtful understanding of user experience and security.
Security Camera App
As part of an introductory computer systems project in QUT, I developed a real-time security camera system using a Raspberry Pi and YOLOv5 for object detection. The system uses a USB webcam connected to the Raspberry Pi to monitor a designated area for human or vehicle presence—deemed common security threats. For image recognition, I employed the YOLOv5-nano variant from Ultralytics (https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases) due to its optimized size and performance for resource-constrained devices. The software identifies objects in the camera feed and labels them with confidence scores, focusing on "person" and "car" classes (Class 0 and Class 3).
WorldSkills Singapore Robotics
As team lead for ITE West's inaugural robotics team at WorldSkills Singapore 2016, I spearheaded the design and programming of a competitive mobile robotics system. Using NI MyRio controllers, LabVIEW, and C++, I developed advanced motor control systems with precise PID tuning for mecanum wheels and integrated computer vision using NI Vision for real-time object detection. I engineered a custom LabVIEW interface for live PID monitoring and implemented IR GP2Y sensors for wall detection, enhancing navigation. This project, executed over two years using a hybrid Waterfall-Agile methodology, showcased my expertise in hardware-software integration and leadership in a high-stakes competition.
