About me
Hi there! I am Ziyue, an aspiring aerospace/embedded systems engineer and geospatial data nerd with a computer engineering background. I am currently in my junior year of my Engineering and Product Development (Computer Engineering specialization) degree in SUTD and I love working on anything that has to do with embedded hardware, electronics, radio frequency and software.
Work
My work experience includes a brief stint as an app developer when I just finished middle school, at buUuk Pte. Ltd, a Singaporean mobile app development firm. During my polytechnic education, I had the opportunity to intern at two research institutions at Nanyang Technological University, namely the Satellite Research Centre and Earth Observatory of Singapore, in which I developed software for space operations and cloud-based data science pipeline respectively. In my Junior year in college, I interned at Equatorial Space Systems, Singapore’s first rocket company to develop the avionics and flight software for a sounding rocket, and I am intending to commence my final year project with them to develop their next generation avionics platform in Fall 2025.
Competencies
With the invaluable help of my mentors in both my middle school and polytechnic, I picked up several aspects of computing in my spare time in middle school including mobile and web app development, and Linux sysadmin.
Other than software, I have developed competencies in CAD electronic hardware design and layout during my middle school education. I further picked up embedded system programming such as on AVR microcontrollers. Creating a custom version of the Arduino: the SSTuino in Singapore Polytechnic and a multi-parameter COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) air quality sensor during middle school were 2 of the dozens of hardware projects I designed and fabricated.
At my current college, I have further honed my skills in mechanical design and fabrication, and am qualified in FDM/SLA/Polyjet 3D printing, laser cutting, stick welding and small-scale CNC routers at my college’s Fablab.
