Hello there, I’m Jacky! 👋
I’m a 4th-year undergraduate student at the University of Toronto studying Robotics🤖 and AI. I’m expected to graduate in May 2025 🎓.
My interests lie in Robotics and Software, with hands-on experience in developing and optimizing robotic systems 🛠. I’ve worked on projects involving SLAM algorithms, ROS2, sensor integration, and robotic control systems. My focus is on real-time performance optimization and algorithm development to ensure efficient, autonomous operation 🚗.
I have also gained valuable experience during my internship at AMD, where I contributed to hardware verification and developed solutions in Python, Perl, and Tcl for system integration 💻.
Currently, I’m exploring career opportunities in both software and hardware roles, with a strong interest in robotics, AI, and embedded systems 🌐.
