Exploded view

Six parts that make up how I work, from talking to users to printing the parts.

No.	Part	Spec
01	Human-centred design	Interviews with users and makers, turned into design requirements
02	CAD	SolidWorks, Inventor and Fusion 360, from concept models to printer parts
03	Simulation	ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS Fluent and MATLAB before anything gets built
04	Mechatronics	Motors, springs, sensors and Arduino in working prototypes
05	Additive manufacturing	Binder jet and inkjet printing, run as daily print-and-test cycles
06	XR and media	Unity, Quest 3, Spark AR and Blender, from 3D assets to hand tracking

About

I am finishing an MSc in Engineering Design and Innovation at NUS, with a mechatronics degree from VinUniversity. I build physical prototypes, test them, and redesign the parts that fail. My MSc ends in January 2027, and I am looking for a full-time engineering role from then.
