Mechanical Engineering · UNSW Sydney
Engineer, startup founder, and AI researcher building things that make a real difference. Currently interning at RadAIology and building Cocuna.
Who I Am
I see something that could be better, and I build toward it.
As a Mechanical Engineering student at UNSW Sydney, I've spent the last few years not just studying how things work — but making things that work for real people.
In 2022, I noticed students around me struggling without affordable, personalised tutoring. So I started LQ Tutoring from my living room — and grew it into a business with over 50 students and 3 tutors, entirely through word of mouth. That same instinct led me to co-found EnerTrade, a battery recycling startup that won $24,000 at the 2024 UAVS national pitch competition.
Right now, I'm building Cocuna — an AI-enabled app that supports mothers through pregnancy and postpartum care. It's the project I'm most passionate about: using tools like Cursor, Lovable, and large language models to rapidly prototype something that could genuinely improve lives. I'm leading everything from product design to pitch strategy. Alongside that, I'm a research intern at RadAIology, exploring how AI can transform medical imaging.
Outside the workshop and the lab? You'll find me crossing the finish line of a half marathon, mixing drinks at the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, or getting bossed around by my cat Cookie. I believe the best engineers stay curious about people — not just problems.
What I've Built
From award-winning startups to hands-on engineering.
A battery recycling app built on circular economy principles. Led the startup from a napkin sketch to the national stage — pitching to industry leaders and walking away with first place and $24,000.
View project →An AI-powered app supporting mothers through pregnancy and postpartum care — rapidly prototyped using Cursor, Lovable, ChatGPT, and Gemini.
View project →Designed and built a fully operational Iron Man mask from scratch — hand-drawn sketches to CAD to a working motorised prototype with LED lighting.
View project →A gas-spring powered sit-to-stand device for elderly users that reduces peak joint load by 40–50%.
View project →An Arduino-based pill dispenser tailored for elderly users — custom CAD housing, C++ logic, and a user-centred design approach that earned first place.
View project →A fully functional model bridge with pulleys and hydraulic systems that opens for ship clearance. Won 1st among 30+ teams.
View project →Where I've Been
From research labs to startup trenches.
RadAIology — ML/AI in Radiology
Working alongside a PhD researcher to explore how machine learning can improve radiology workflows and diagnostic accuracy.
Cocuna — AI-Enabled Maternal Support App
Building an AI-powered app that supports mothers through pregnancy and postpartum care. Leading product design, AI prototyping with Cursor and Lovable, and pitch strategy.
LQ Tutoring
Built a tutoring business from zero to 50+ students and 3 tutors across all high school subjects. Grown entirely through word of mouth.
Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre — Liverpool Council
Customer service during events and exhibitions. POS operations, venue presentation, and the kind of work where you actually get to enjoy talking to people.
