I knew from the start that juggling a big project with my advanced engineering subjects was going to be tough, so I prepared well and early, determined to succeed.
There were many lows, blood, sweat and tears shed before our project was presented with the Autodesk Design Award for using innovative materials and design (3D Printed Titanium Chassis), as well as the Wade Institute Commerciality Prize for our innovative payload (in-house produced thermal camera system).
I got to experience first-hand the ways in which hardship builds resilience and character as well as persevering through hardship is ultimately rewarding, even through the toughest storms.
I would not have been able to experience such valuable life lessons without the help of YSD, always pushing me to my limits, to recognise my boundaries and be rid of self-doubt, excuses and arrogance.
I graduated with a Bachelors in Science and Masters in Engineering, and recently joined the Sime Darby Group.
