Hi, I'm Brians 👋

As a final-year Electrical Engineering student at the National University of Singapore, I bring a strong blend of hardware and software expertise. I serve as Team Vice Captain and Low Voltage Engineer for the NUS Formula SAE Team, designing custom telemetry systems and embedded firmware. I also have experience in full-stack development and robotics, including work on autonomous mobile robots and award-winning projects. Proficient in React, Python, C/C++, and ROS, I thrive at the intersection of engineering and technology.
