About me

Loading contributions graph...

I’m someone who thrives in complexity, not just solving problems but understanding systems, people and why things break. I don’t settle for surface-level fixes. Whether I’m debugging firmware, helping a teammate or navigating school deadlines, I take ownership, stay direct and get things done.

Balancing a full-time Computing Science degree while working part-time in embedded systems is more than a schedule, it’s a mindset. It has taught me discipline, prioritization and how to excel under pressure without losing focus.

I build reliable solutions, fix what’s broken and leave systems better than I found them. I learn fast, adapt quickly and avoid repeating mistakes.

If you need someone who shows up, contributes effectively and tackles both low-level bugs and big-picture challenges, that is me.

    Teammate

    I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Jun Kiat on multiple occasions, and his commitment consistently meets and often exceeds expectations. His proficiency in programming languages and problem-solving is exceptional, enabling him to tackle complex challenges with efficiency and creativity.

    What truly sets Jun Kiat apart is his proactive approach and ability to take initiative. He doesn’t just follow instructions he anticipates needs, identifies opportunities for improvement, and takes action without hesitation. Beyond his technical skills, he is a true team player who willingly shares his knowledge, mentors peers, and steps in to help whenever needed. His collaborative spirit, dedication, and drive make him a valuable asset to any project or team.

    I highly recommend Jun Kiat and look forward to future opportunities to work with him again.

    Ryder Ta (Manh Ta Cong)

    Embedded Software Engineer

    During the last two months of his internship, Jk demonstrated a strong ability to learn quickly and contribute meaningfully to our ongoing projects. He learned how to properly use Git for source code version control and helped create and improve Android applications designed for long-term testing.

    He also took the initiative to research and implement an interesting Android feature to automatically enable tethering on device boot. His approach to the problem was creative and effective. Additionally, he contributed to modifying a PC application used to control a robotic hand for testing NFC cards and readers.

    I’ve been quite impressed with his performance. I hope that for the remainder of the internship, he continues to stay curious, keep learning, and observe how our company operates. I believe these experiences will be valuable for his future career.
