Independent Researcher | Product, AI, and Software Developer | Maker | Proof-of-Concept Solutions

Hi, welcome to my portfolio website. I am an independent researcher focusing on demonstrating the ideas and solutions I conceptualized regarding various domains and disciplines, from industrial operations to agriculture. In relation to the research subject and the experiments I am conducting, I develop products, neural network models, and distinctive application software. Since I primarily apply the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) methodology so as to develop my solutions, I always collate unique data while generating my datasets and elaborate my data collection techniques in addition to providing the results of my experiments.

As for my background, I was an aspiring physics major and enjoyed applied physics studies. In 2018, I decided to leave my university and pursue my vocation to be an independent researcher. Since I gained all of my skills in product, AI, and software development through self-education, including but not limited to writing comprehensive and concise tutorials in English, I improved the quality of my proof-of-concept projects gradually but effectively. After honing my skills and understanding of intertwined development procedures, such as PCB designing, 3D model designing, and machine learning & AI, I was confident enough to produce complex and innovative proof-of-concept projects worthy of an independent researcher.

Of course, I would not be able to pursue independent research and fulfill my AI-driven solution concepts for real-world problems without the unwavering and continuing support of pioneering tech companies, such as Edge Impulse, DFRobot, Particle, Seeed Studio, PCBWay, and Elecrow. Thanks to their assistance and sponsorships, I was able to utilize state-of-the-art infrastructures, services, and sensors to devise innovative proof-of-concept projects and accomplish my authentic and intricate builds as a full-time occupation.

I also got tremendous help and kindness from renowned maker communities, especially Hackster, while publicizing my independent research projects, accumulating an audience, and participating in worldwide contests to highlight my unique projects and solutions.
