Experience

  1. 2025 – nowpresent

    AI Consultant & Engineer

    ASCO Lotus · Thailand

    • Builds back-office AI agents that take over high-volume, error-prone data entry and cleanup.
    • Work that took months of manual entry now finishes in days, with fewer errors and staff freed for work that needs them.

    Research Intern

    Technische Hochschule Augsburg · Germany · PX4 Micro UAV project

    • Ported the Apache NuttX RTOS to the dual-core STM32H745: independent instances on the Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M4, RPTUN inter-core drivers and an OpenAMP RPMsg ping-pong demo (B.Eng thesis).
    • Back-ported recent NuttX features into the PX4 flight stack.
    • Brought up the PX4 bootloader on the STM32H745.

    Application Engineer Intern

    FESTO · Thailand

    • Reverse-engineered an undocumented showcase machine, a small-scale hard-disk factory of timed pick-and-place, object detection and tray sliders.
    • Migrated it from an ageing PLC onto new FESTO modules; it returned to the floor as a live, IoT-controllable demo.
    • Trained on Siemens, FESTO and Mitsubishi PLCs.

    Researcher & Project Manager

    KMITL Interactive Digital Center (KIDC) · Thailand

    • Project manager and lead developer for interactive R&D: a VR-driven KUKA cobot digital twin, a VR shooting-range trainer and the KMITL VICON motion-capture center.
    • Sets technical direction and components, and trains the junior team in schematic and PCB design, BLE, Unity, KUKA and VICON operation.

    PhySuit

    Founder and sole developer

    • A true-wireless, 10-sensor motion-tracking suit that guides physiotherapy in real time and streams full session data to the clinician.
    • Custom STM32 / ESP32 PCB, 9-DoF IMU sensor fusion, the analysis algorithms, the companion app and the product design.
    • Shown at CES 2025, Las Vegas; physiotherapists and clinics in Thailand signed on to use it.

    F.U.R.I.N.A. underwater drone

    B.Eng capstone, KMITL

    • A VR-piloted underwater drone: four cameras stream 360° video from a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W over Ethernet to a surface floater, then wirelessly to a VR headset.
    • Six-degrees-of-freedom motion on eight brushless motors from an STM32 with a SpeedyBee F405 ESC; Unity sends CRC-validated 3D-vector commands over SPI.
    • MPU6050 and a pressure sensor for orientation and depth.

    VR Cobot Digital Twin

    Project manager and technical lead, KIDC

    • A KUKA iiwa 7 cobot driven live from a Meta Quest Pro through a real-scale 3D twin, for intuitive control, real-time response and error correction.
    • Prepared the robot and the full environment; trained the junior team on KUKA, Unity and industrial protocols.

    VR Shooting Range Simulator

    Project manager and lead developer, KIDC

    • A VR marksmanship and scenario trainer for young military trainees; started as a Department of Defense × KIDC project, now continued at KIDC.
    • Trainees hold a real BB gun fitted with a custom ESP32 circuit that reports each trigger pull to the headset over BLE.

    VICON Motion Capture Center

    Project coordinator, KIDC side

    • A physical-therapy center built around a full VICON motion-capture system, with KMITL's Physical Therapy department.
    • Main point of contact across teams; trained the junior team to set up, calibrate and run the VICON rig.
