About me
I'm a mechanical engineer focused on end-to-end robotics development—from concept sketches and multi-body simulations to full-scale deployment on construction sites. At C3 Construction Robotics I lead cross-disciplinary squads that merge mechatronics, controls, and field validation so new automation ideas survive the harsh realities of Hong Kong job sites.
Recent highlights include orchestrating CU-Brick to lay 5,800 bricks for the YES Pavilion, scaling Robo-Tapper inspections across high-rise facades, and presenting that work on stages like CableCon and YPEC 2025 (where we earned 2nd Runner Up). I thrive when a tough problem demands equal parts precision hardware, resilient software, and calm coordination between researchers and tradespeople.
What i'm doing
-
Software development
Developed robot control, automation navigation, signal processing, and UI. As well as programming for motor controls and wireless communications
-
Hardware design
Design and development of robotic systems, including mechanical structures, electrical layouts, and prototyping using 3D printing and CNC machining.
-
Project management
Managing projects and supervising teams, and overseeing task timelines, and milestones.
-
Research and Publishing
Research and academic contributions were a frequent duty, as seen in publishing papers as the first author.
Testimonials
-
Patrick Li
Leo turns napkin sketches into field-ready robots faster than anyone I’ve managed. He built the Robo-Tapper platform, closed the loop on sensing, and coached our technicians so the system can be deployed in under two hours on a live tower.
-
Prof. Samuel Au
His CU-Brick research balanced rigorous modeling with a pragmatic understanding of site logistics. The resulting cable-driven parallel robot became the reference project for my graduate cohort and a showcase for industry partners.

Ada Wong
During the YES Pavilion build, Leo was on-site every dawn, aligning brick tolerances, updating motion plans, and keeping the crew energized. His calm troubleshooting ensured we hit the 40-layer schedule without a single QA slip.

Maggie Chan
Leo’s YPEC 2025 demo was the most approachable deep-tech presentation we saw. He translated complex sensing and automation concepts into stories our judging panel and public visitors immediately understood.
