AI Engineer

I enjoy using technology to make complex work simpler and more effective. At HERA, I’m excited to help improve our certification processes through smarter software and AI, making everyday tasks easier so our team can spend more time on the work that really matters.
Did you know…
I joined the HERA whānau in 2026!
I was born and raised in Hong Kong
I speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin
As a kid, I was always curious about how things worked. Taking gadgets apart, figuring out why, and wondering if there was a better way. I didn’t know it was called software engineering back then. I just knew I liked solving things.
By day, I work as a Software Engineer at HERA, building tools and systems that make our certification and engineering processes more efficient, reliable, and easier to use. What I enjoy most is turning complex workflows into practical software, and I’m especially excited about what AI can do for repeatable tasks and smarter decision-making.
By night, I’m a husband, dad, and the ATM to my daughters with no withdrawal limits. Outside of family life, I’m a passionate gamer. Shooters and role-playing games mostly. The ultimate endgame? Spending all day gaming, guilt-free.
As for the future, I’m leading the research into how AI can support the certification of Factory Production Control systems, looking at where it can improve consistency, reduce repetitive work, and help engineers make faster, better-informed decisions.
