Software Engineer & Researcher
I am an incoming Computer Science student with interests in robotics, computer vision, intelligent automation, and digital healthcare systems. What interests me most is building software that operates beyond purely digital environments - systems that interact with real processes, physical devices, and human-centered applications. I've worked on automation workflows, signal analysis tools, and computer vision applications.
About
Over the past several years, I have focused on hands-on learning through independent projects, research internships, and engineering work. I previously worked as a research intern at GATE Institute, where I explored EEG signal processing and computer vision systems for digital healthcare applications.
Currently integrating a collaborative robot and computer vision system into a optical manufacturing workflow at Nick2000, focusing on automation pipelines and vision-based inspection systems for manufacturing precision.
Alongside engineering work, I participate in conferences, scientific competitions, and independent research projects, with a strong interest in practical implementation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Long term, I hope to contribute to meaningful engineering and research projects that combine intelligent systems, real-world interaction, and measurable impact.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Projects
Each project is framed as a real product surface: clear constraints, considered interfaces, measurable outcomes, and implementation details that hold up beyond a prototype.
A performance-optimized, cross-platform neuro-computational software with a C++/Qt core for high-fidelity rendering of multi-channel EEG signal streams. The system translates raw neural data into structured frameworks through a performance-critical architectural design. This interface helps researchers visualize and understand complex brain activity effectively.
A precision industrial automation system for optical manufacturing, combining a collaborative robot and machine vision to reduce manual intervention during optical glass processing. Repeatable positioning, operator-safe automation, and reliable integration with vision-assisted quality control pipelines are provided for precision manufacturing.
