Hi, I’m Billy!
Former NASA Engineer
with a passion in STEM.
I teach secondary and adult students in Hong Kong,
always busy tinkering with some engineering projects,
and love adventuring outdoors.

Biography
Having grown up to movies like Star Wars, Independent Day, Back to the Future and Apollo 13, along with my dad bringing me to old Kai Tak Airport to go planespotting weekly, inspired me to become a Rocket Scientist!
In the beginning, it felt like I was chasing an impossible dream. However, little did I know that my hobby of game development would build my skillsets that end up enabling me to become an aerospace engineer at NASA.
I had many great teachers and mentors along the way who help make me who I am today. Therefore, as a way of giving back to the community, I teach to inspire the future generation and to see how much fun STEM can be!
