About Me

Hey, I'm Cheng.

Geomatics engineer with 5+ years of experience in GNSS positioning and multi-sensor fusion. Passionate about AI, space technology, and the future of autonomous navigation.

I hold an M.Sc. in Geomatics Engineering from the University of Calgary, where my thesis on visual-inertial-wheel odometry was published at ION GNSS+. When I'm not analyzing positioning data, you'll find me exploring alpine trails and capturing the journey through photography.
