Hi! I'm Oscar, a fresh Computer Science graduate from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I'm passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems and creating meaningful impact through innovation.

That has taken me from UAV-based concrete inspection to audio descriptions for visually impaired users and music you can feel.

Outside technology, I enjoy playing the piano, exploring drone videography, and building personal projects with Raspberry Pi. The piano is my way of unwinding and expressing creativity. Music and coding share a similar rhythm: both take patience and practice.

Feel free to reach out — I'd love to connect! — Oscar

Ideas, made useful.

Three projects. Different challenges.
The same interest in making a difference.
