Hong KongWhat I'm looking for
With 13 years of experience in developing software apps, platforms and robotic products, I have strong experience in leading and contributing to high performing teams. I thrive in a fast-paced challenging work environment and enjoy working with modern technology stacks.
I’m adept at solving technical problems, upskilling in new technologies, and I have wide range of previous experience I can bring together when developing new ideas or working on improving existing systems.
I have contributed to many successful projects during my career and can take on multiple roles (either hands-on or solution architect) as needed to ensure the project goals are exceeded. Also I have unique experience in working in globally distributed teams across multiple countries and cultures and in established companies and startups. I’m looking forward to my next challenge to build a fantastic product.

My role was to lead the manufacturing test fixture team to ensure all robotic products were tested and calibrated during assembly.

This job required a comprehensive knowledge of each product and a full understanding of all aspects of each product (from firmware to hardware).
