Who
I Am

I am an inventor, researcher, and entrepreneur at the intersection of aerospace engineering, artificial intelligence, and emerging market innovation. My work centres on building affordable, accessible aerial robotic technologies for agriculture mechanization, urban air mobility, and space robotics — with a particular focus on emerging economies.

As founder of Aerial Industries Pte. Singapore and CEO of Aerial MECHANICA USA Inc., I have spent over a decade designing, patenting, and commercializing ring-wing eVTOL aircraft, airborne wind energy systems, and precision agriculture platforms — from US-patented hardware to cloud-based drone management platforms.

Featured on CNN, selected by Airbus BizLab, presented at Expo 2020 Dubai as a Global Innovator, and reached the global finals of the UC Berkeley Haas Global Social Venture Competition.

What I Build

Combining engineering rigour with entrepreneurial vision across four domains of future technology.

Hardware
eVTOL & Ring-Wing Aircraft
Designing and manufacturing articulated ring-wing eVTOL aircraft for agriculture, cargo, and urban air mobility. US patent-pending distributed propulsion architecture.
Software
Flight Control Systems
Developing next-generation GNFCS combining reinforcement learning, PINNs, and model predictive control for autonomous aerial vehicles.
Agri-Tech
Precision Agriculture Platforms
Building drone-based spray-as-a-service platforms for crop protection and yield optimization in emerging markets, with AI-powered monitoring and harvest prediction.
Energy
Airborne Wind Energy
Engineering HAWK — a biomimetic soft kite generating 10–20 kW from wind energy, deployable in remote farmfields with zero ground infrastructure.
