About

I’m Matthew Tan, a mechatronics and robotics software engineer with a strong passion for FPV drones, autonomous UAVs, and drone-enabled commercial applications. I’ve built myself a varied toolkit across robotics, software development, hardware, and hands-on project management, always eager to learn, meet new people, and push ideas into reality.

I started my own education and tech initiatives in 2017, teach coding and robotics to younger generations, and love participating in hackathons. I’m an animal lover who enjoys exploring nature, and I’m always keen to improve my skills, collaborate with others, and fly my FPV drones in new places.
