SADE UAV

SADE UAV

SADE UAV

Designed a fixed-wing UAV for autonomous wildfire detection using thermal imaging. Led the full design cycle from concept sketches through CAD modeling, CFD analysis (XFOIL/OpenVSP), 3D printing of prototypes, and competition deployment at Teknofest.

3D Art & Visual Effects

3D Art & Visual Effects

3D Art & Visual Effects

Hard-surface modeling, sci-fi environments, and concept art created in Blender and Unreal Engine. Portfolio includes vehicles, mechs, and architectural scenes.

2019-Present

BSc Innovation & Technology student at HKU with 5+ years of hands-on experience in robotics and engineering. I founded Bolts & Nuts, an FRC team that grew to span 10 schools and 30 students. Before that, I served as Mechanical Captain at River Robotics, where I designed and manufactured competition robots from the ground up. My work spans UAV airframe design, embedded systems, 3D art, and AI-driven research.

I just love building stuff.
