Ethan Ong

Passionate about robotics, software development, and a touch of design

Experience in building GUIs in Python (pyside6, tkinter) with MariaDB access and SQL functions, QR code and label detectors for warehouses in BoofCV and OpenCV. Made simple line tracking and remote control robots using Arduino and C++, and learnt basic Linux, networking, PID control with ROS1. Created multiple 3D prints for drone add-ons and competitions, designed with Fusion360. Trained AI Models in PyTorch.

Internship at Fling (Thailand) under the Overseas Entrepreneurship Programme. Fling is a Drone-based startup focused on optimising the stock checking process using AI to analyse video footage, and an automated flying system. Collaborated in software development for drone stock check post-processing tasks which requires knowledge of PyTorch, OpenCV, and SQL, along with leading projects to create GUIs (pyside6, tkinter) for internal scripts, and a QR Label Generator desktop application for DHL and CEVA.

Studying Mechanical Engineering with a specialisation in Mechatronics at Nanyang Technological University, currently in my third year of study.
