Hi, my name is

Martin Wu.

I build things with code & hardware.

Embedded systems & software engineer. Currently co-founding an AI startup and building firmware at UBC Solar.

01. About Me

I'm an engineering student at UBC with a passion for building things — from embedded firmware to full-stack web applications. I like solving problems that actually matter.

Right now, I'm co-founding an AI startup focused on making LLMs run efficiently on consumer hardware, and building embedded systems at UBC Solar where I engineer safety-critical temperature monitoring for our solar race car.

Here are some technologies I've been working with:

  • Python
  • C / C++
  • JavaScript / TypeScript
  • React
  • STM32 / SPI / CAN bus
  • Flask
  • Git / GitHub Actions
  • InfluxDB / Grafana

Sep 2025 — Present

Embedded Systems Engineer · UBC Solar

Vancouver, BC

  • Engineered PT1000 RTD temperature sensing system with MAX31865 breakout board after motor failure at competition revealed telemetry blind spots; wired and integrated hardware to driver dashboard
  • Developed STM32 firmware in C implementing SPI communication to configure MAX31865 registers, initialize sensor parameters, and convert raw ADC readings to temperature
  • Integrated sensor data over CAN bus to driver dashboard for real-time monitoring independent of telemetry
  • Configured InfluxDB + Grafana data visualization via Sunlink radio system for live vehicle diagnostics
  • Currently developing external lighting control system with driver dashboard button integration
