Final-year Software Engineer at UTS building sustainable, measurable systems—from multimodal video pipelines to smart-city data platforms. Portfolio, CV, reflections, and cover letter.
·Final-year Software Engineer UTS
·Data & Multimodal Systems
I’m a final-year Software Engineer at UTS focused on data platforms and multimodal systems. I care about reliability and measurable outcomes: reduced A/V misalignment 5s→2s in a video pipeline, delivered a low-latency REST API for property analytics, and designed a smart-city data warehouse (10+ fact/dim tables) with reproducible ETL. I enjoy turning messy data into clear, actionable products.

Selected Projects
GenLesson — Multimodal Educational Video(individual) Feb 2025– Now
-
Built a video generation service orchestrating audio, vision and text modules. After testing, it can run directly locally on most terminals.
-
Enforced local-only processing and anonymised demos with documented provenance. Tuned parameters to improve A/V alignment from 5s to 2s and enable ≤10-minute one-click builds.
City Smell — Smart City Data Warehouse (individual) Feb 2025– May 2025
-
Designed fact/dimension + bridge schema; wrote Python ETL into MySQL; documented decisions and tests.
-
Produced repeatable runs and queries; pipeline generalises to new datasets.
Embedded Multi-Sensor Alarm (AVR)(cooperation) Feb 2025– May 2025
-
Implemented timers, ADC and external interrupts with PWM control and serial logging; achieved ~0.2 ms response.
Landvalue Real-Estate API (7-person team) Feb 2024– May 2024
-
Translated domain questions into plain-English endpoint briefs, example JSON and data-flow sketches; agreed request/response contracts before coding.
-
Reduced clarification loops and accelerated sign-off.
ChatPPT — Image to Editable Slides (team) Aug 2024– Nov 2024
-
Coordinated FE/BE integration; built the front end and prototyped Hough-based preprocessing with runnable scripts; added clear UI prompts and paired on debugging, leading to smoother integration and a coherent final demo.
-
Harbourside Redevelopment (de-facto lead) Aug 2023 – Nov 2023
-
Ran weekly sessions and an action/owner tracker; aligned mixed backgrounds on payback period, net present value, benefit-cost ratio, life-cycle cost. Recorded 28% contribution across financial evaluation, risk and recommendations.
Campus Wi-Fi Signal Enhancement (team lead) Feb 2022– Jun 2022
-
Set delivery cycle, milestones and checkpoints; led brainstorming and contributed 20%+ of the literature review; led the live demo and supported commercialisation planning.
Reflection process
There are two reflections on the application of sustainable development principles and cross-cultural and global contexts.
Reflection 1 — Sustainability
In this reflection I unpack a single turning point where our team had to keep a complex build moving with fewer hands and limited compute. The incident forced me to treat sustainability as more than energy use: it meant resilient planning, reusable knowledge, and measurable efficiency. I describe my feelings under pressure, the actions I took (task redesign, milestone control, experiment logging), the outcomes, and what I would do differently next time to make the system even more viable.
Reflection 2 — Intercultural & Global Practice
This reflection centers on a critical meeting in a multicultural, cross-disciplinary team where competing technical approaches stalled progress. I reflect on the frustration, how structured evidence-based discussions and inclusive turn-taking rebuilt momentum, and why explicit decision protocols matter in global engineering contexts. I close with what I’d change—earlier norms, intercultural check-ins—and how these lessons now shape my collaboration style and leadership.
Cover letter
I am applying for a job at Industrius Engineering company. If you would like to see detailed information, please click to obtain a cover letter.My cover letter maps directly to each selection criterion and highlights measurable outcomes across backend, data, and multimodal projects—e.g., cutting A/V misalignment 5s→2s, building responsive REST APIs, and designing a 10+ table data warehouse. It also explains why the Industrius Engineering company fit my strengths and goals.
