About Me

Hello! I'm Celeste, a Year 3 Computer Engineering student at the National University of Singapore (NUS), graduating in 2027 with a B.Eng and continuing on to a Master's in 2028.

I started coding and tinkering with robotics from a young age, from early robotics projects, to robotics clubs, and eventually representing Singapore at international competitions. Over time, I’ve developed a passion for building reliable systems that bridge software, hardware, and real-world applications. Click here for more information.

At NUS, I have worked extensively on autonomous robotic systems across underwater and aerial platforms. I contributed to the development of an autonomous MiniAUV that competed at RoboSub 2025, and I am currently working on an undergraduate research project to build a fully autonomous drone for SAFMC 2026.

Beyond system integration, I enjoy working close to the hardware. I designed and built a custom Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), handling power electronics design, PCB layout, motor control logic, and embedded firmware development. From low-level motor commutation to high-level autonomy, I enjoy engineering systems end-to-end — especially where control theory, embedded systems, and intelligent software intersect.

I am looking to work in fast-paced, collaborative environments and enjoy tackling problems that challenge me to design and build across every layer of a system.
