"Should I consider these steps fleeting… or new?"
I'm a Computer Systems Engineering student at the University of Auckland — but more than that, I'm a solo system builder, emotive robotics developer, and a deep believer in crafting technology that remembers, expresses, and endures.
-
🛠 Project LENS – A lifelong autonomous robotic companion built to preserve memory, express emotion, and withstand decades of operation.
“Capture, preserve, and recall the meaningful slices of my life autonomously—and stay operational long enough for me to hand you to my kids.”
-
🧠 Project Shia – A story-driven, emotionally rich archive of a father and daughter; part memory capsule, part moral compass.
-
🏎 F:SAE:47 – Autonomous Subsystems – I serve as an Autonomous Systems Engineer on the University of Auckland’s FSAE team, working on safety nodes, Jetson-ESP32 communication, and real-time ROS 2 architecture.
- Languages: C++, Python, Java, VHDL, Bash, TypeScript, MATLAB
- Systems: Embedded (ESP32, Atmega328P), ROS 2 (Humble), Linux (WSL2 & native Ubuntu), Git
- Domains:
- Autonomy & FSMs
- Sensor fusion & perception
- Hardware safety enforcement
- Expressive robotics
- Long-term data archiving
I work in deep, serial immersion. Each project I take on—like Project LENS—is not a prototype for mass use. It’s built for me, to live alongside me, and to endure. I believe in:
- Engineering as personal legacy
- Systems that can fail and recover gracefully
- Code that expresses emotional truth
- Devices that outlive product cycles
- 🔬 Building “proof-of-physics” prototypes for Project LENS subsystems
- ⚙️ Finalizing structured UART communication between ESP32 and ROS 2 FSM nodes
- 🌱 Learning reinforcement learning through drone navigation
- ✍️ Curating the emotional logic and visuals behind Project Shia
