From Student to Builder
I'm an electrical engineering student who believes in learning by building. From founding an EdTech startup to designing autonomous drones and coaching rowing crews, I bridge the gap between theory and real-world impact through commitment and dedication.
The Journey Begins
My journey into engineering started with a simple question: How can technology make education more accessible?
In 2022, while navigating my electrical engineering studies, I noticed a gap in the tutoring market. Students needed personalized help, and talented tutors needed a platform to connect with them. That realization led me to found MyClass.
What started as a side project grew into a thriving business. By 2023, we had scaled to 17+ employees and 200+ students served. In 2024, we launched our custom-built Tutor Management System (TMS), improving operational efficiency by 60%.
My passion extends to embedded systems, control theory, and robotics. In 2025, as part of my Electrical Engineering Design Project, I'm designing and building an autonomous indoor surveillance drone from scratch—featuring Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor navigation, ESP flight controller, and a custom Fusion360-designed chassis with 3-minute flight time.
Beyond engineering, I've spent four years with Wesley College and Western Australian Rowing Club (WARC), where rowing became more than a sport—it became a way of life. From coaching crews ranging from Year 9Bs to First Eights, to serving as Secretary and mentoring new coaches, rowing taught me the same values that drive my engineering work: commitment, dedication, and the power of consistent effort.

Lessons From the Journey
Real stories and insights from building projects and scaling a business
The First Student Changed Everything
When our first student told us they improved their grade from a C to an A, I realized we weren't just building a platform—we were changing lives. That moment transformed MyClass from a side project into a mission.
Engineering Design Project: Autonomous Drone
As part of my Electrical Engineering Design Project, I'm building an autonomous indoor surveillance drone. The challenge of creating GPS-denied navigation using ToF sensors while optimizing for flight time taught me practical control systems and embedded design.
Scaling to 17+ Employees
Going from solo founder to managing a team of 17+ was the steepest learning curve. Building systems, hiring TeamLeads, and maintaining quality while scaling taught me invaluable lessons about leadership and operations.
Ship Fast, Iterate Faster
Our TMS system wasn't perfect when we launched it. But we learned more in the first week of real usage than we did in months of planning. Perfect is the enemy of shipped.
Lessons from the Water
Winning my first B grade race at WARC taught me that consistency beats intensity. Early morning training sessions, coaching younger athletes, and serving as club Secretary showed me that dedication isn't just about showing up—it's about showing up for others too.

What Drives Me
The principles that guide my work and decision-making
Build to Learn
Theory is important, but I believe the best learning happens when you're building something real—whether it's code, hardware, or a championship crew.
Commitment & Dedication
From early morning rowing sessions to late-night coding—success comes from showing up consistently and giving your best effort every single time.
Share Knowledge
Everything I learn, I share. From coaching rowers to mentoring new coaches at WARC, teaching makes everyone better.
