Timeline & Impact

2008 - 2013: La Salle University, SPN
  • Earned a Bachelor's in Electronics Engineering & Computer Science with Thesis First Class Honors.
  • Built robots & invented/produced 150+ smart-cubes to make rehabilitation fun, effective, and engaging for children recovering from traumatic brain injuries (in collaboration with Sant Joan de Deu Pediatric Hospital, Barcelona).
2013 - 2014: Almende, NL
  • Engineered a real-time Wi-Fi control module and drivers for a budget-friendly drone, enhancing flight stability and path estimation through sensor fusion.
2014 - 2016: Augmented Human Lab - SUTD, SG
  • Invented sensor technology to enhance patient safety after catheter removal procedures, significantly reducing the risk of critical bleeding complications (in collaboration with Changi General Hospital (CGH), Singapore).
  • Developed a monitoring system to help diabetic patients detect early signs of foot ulcers, preventing complications and improving their quality of life (in collaboration with CGH, Singapore).
  • Built an empowering sensory substitution wearable that allows hearing-impaired individuals to feel music through a rich sensory experience of light and vibration (in collaboration with the School of the Deaf, Sri Lanka).
  • Engineered new intent-capturing technologies at the intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Context-Aware Pervasive Computing (in collaboration with MIT & Saarland University).
2017 - 2018: Think Tank Team - Samsung, USA
