Professional Profile

A Biomedical Engineer with a passion for neuro-engineering on the application of Bio-Signal Processing and Machine Learning for System Control. Research focus is on the utilization of hand and arm’s electromyography signal for robotics control and rehabilitation. Recent project used high-density EMG to reproduce discreet finger control.

On the other side, also working as a Full Stack QA/Engineer/Analyst and Tech enthusiast. These experiences provide the other soft skill such as Project Management, System Analysis, Software Engineering and exposure to latest Technology.
