Design and implementation of object detection, object tracking and mapping algorithms running on embedded hardware to create a 3D LiDAR perception engine for intelligent automation

Tools used: Python, C++, Robot Operating System (ROS)

Patient monitoring via sensors on the B-L475E-IOT01A Discovery Kit

STM32L4 microcontroller programmed in embedded C to control various sensors on the board for patient monitoring (temperature, humidity, orientation, etc.) utilising polling, interrupts interfaced with I2C; UART for output to terminal via serial communication.

Tools used: STM32CubeIDE

Smart contracts written in Solidity to fetch price information from Chainlink oracles on the Ethereum network

Developed in the Brownie environment with Python. The smart contracts can be utilised for high-frequency* trading on decentralized exchanges with up-to-date price information from the blockchain; useful against sandwich bots, etc.
*high-frequency because Ethereum nodes mostly run on data centers scattered throughout the world and my country's internet connectivity is in the top 1% in the world

Tools used: Solidity, Python, Brownie, Ganache

Three games implemented on the Basys 3 FPGA board.

Games made use of microphone input from the Pmod MIC3 and displayed graphics on the Pmod OLEDrgb.

Tools used: Vivado, Verilog

VR simulation built for the HTC Vive to train culinary students in proper fine-dining table preparation.

Targeted at the students of Temasek Culinary Academy in Temasek Polytechnic as part of their course in Culinary & Catering Management. The simulation involves preparing a dining table for seating by guests in a fine-dining restaurant. The students are timed and have to complete the procedure within a specified time limit in order to demonstrate their aptitude.

Tools used: Unity, Autodesk Maya, Substance Painter, C#

A content management system I made on my own after picking up enough web development by myself.

The CMS manages the pages of a fictonal banking company - allowing the user to edit, hide or delete the pages. It also makes use of user authentication & password encryption for admin accounts that can access the CMS. The CMS runs on PHP & uses MySQL to store the database containing the page data & admin accounts that can access the CMS.

Tools used: SQL, PHP

An augmented reality (AR) game for Android that features player vs AI gameplay & makes use of AR marker manipulation to do cool things in the game.

Robo Conflict is a turn-based strategy game where the player controls a team of robots against a team of AI robots on a hexagonal grid, and has to destroy the enemy team to win. The AI makes use of behaviour trees for decision-making, A* pathfinding & Minimax algorithm. The main highlight of the game is a feature which lets the player tilt the AR marker to causes all the robots on the grid to fall towards the direction the marker was tilted to.

The project was created to demonstrate the feasibility of AR marker manipulation as a part of main gameplay mechanics & to showcase our AI design.

Tools used: Unity, ARToolKit, C#

A recreation of Devil Dice in OpenGL

The game mimics the mechanics of Devil Dice, with additional features such as terrain generated from a height-map & a particle emitter.

The project was created to demonstrate my skills in graphics programming. It was written in C++ using the freeGLUT library and makes use of computer graphics fundamentals such as working with vectors, matrices for 3D transformations, lighting & billboarding.

Tools used: OpenGL, C++

A Location-based game for Android that uses GPS tracking & QR code scanning for players to collect & pets and pit them against monsters encountered around Temasek Polytechnic

Kaijuu Trainer is a game created to promote exercising for students at Temasek Polytechnic. It intended to accomplish this by having them walk around the campus to collect digital pets & randomly encounter different types of monsters in different parts of the campus. They would battle these monsters with their pets to make them stronger. Located in different parts of the campus would also be QR codes which can be scanned to heal their pets & battle stronger boss monsters which drop eggs that hatch into new pets.

The project earned a distinction & was showcased as one of the best mobile games created in the Game Design & Development Course in Temasek Polytechnic in the year 2017.

Tools used: Unity, ZXing, C#
