Technical Expertise & Educational Impact

I work across Technical Product/Program Management, Embedded/IoT, and AI/ML (Computer Vision, NLP)—building modern web platforms with React.js + Node.js, deploying models with PyTorch, and prototyping on Arduino/ESP32/Raspberry Pi. I've developed 3 no-code AI tools to teach young kids AI and robotics, which have been successfully tested in Michigan schools and trained numerous students. These tools enable children to build robots, control hardware, and explore AI concepts without programming knowledge—demonstrating that critical thinking and logic design are what truly matter. Beyond technical work, I mentor students in capstone projects, organize STEM exhibitions, and guide aspiring students through scholarship applications and study abroad processes.
