Founder & Builder | Research | Biomedical Engineering | Full-Stack Software & Hardware
Building disciplined systems at the convergence of biological signals, intelligent software stacks, and custom physical hardware. Founder & Lead Organizer of Perth's first teenager hackathon in Western Australia.
Designed components and hardware directly rooted in discovery, bridging raw physiological data with intuitive physical systems.
Works.
Western Australia’s Inaugural Teenager Hackathon
Conceived, organized, and directed Western Australia’s first dedicated technology hackathon for high school students, uniting over 350+ young creators to prototype high-impact software and hardware solutions.
Systemic Biomarker Discovery via Retinal Microvasculature
Developed deep convolutional neural networks extracting geometric and topological microvascular features from non-mydriatic fundus cameras to infer early-stage cardiovascular and neurological risk non-invasively.
Targeted Anatomical Mapping & Myofascial Therapy
Engineered a full-stack mobile platform that maps localized myofascial trigger nodes, correlates physiological tension logs, and generates adaptive rehabilitation regimens for athletes and desk workers.
Precision Mechanical Macropad with Dynamic Telemetry
Designed from raw silicon up: custom PCB layout in KiCAD with an RP2040 microcontroller, hot-swap mechanical sockets, an integrated 128×32 OLED telemetry screen, and low-latency C firmware.
Experience.
Founded and directed Western Australia's inaugural hackathon specifically for high schoolers and teenagers. Orchestrated corporate sponsorships, industry mentors from leading tech companies, venue logistics, curriculum design, and judging frameworks.
Engineering deep learning segmentation models to extract non-invasive physiological biomarkers from fundus retinal photographs. Collaborating with clinical imaging data to explore predictive indicators for cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.
Architected cross-platform mobile recovery application utilizing React Native and Supabase. Implemented interactive SVG biomechanical anatomy models to assist athletes and patients in trigger point release.
Designing custom printed circuit boards (PCBs) in KiCAD, embedded C/C++ firmware on STM32 and ESP32 microcontrollers, 3D parametric CAD prototyping, and physical interactive devices.

About.
I am Larry Yu, a builder and researcher based in Perth, Western Australia. My work lives at the direct intersection of biomedical science, full-stack software architecture, and physical hardware computing.
Rather than treating hardware, software, and biological data as siloed disciplines, I synthesize them into cohesive, real-world tools. Whether designing custom multi-layer PCBs, training computer vision segmentation models on clinical ophthalmic datasets, or building mobile applications for athletes, I focus on end-to-end execution.
Beyond technical engineering, I am passionate about cultivating youth technology leadership in Western Australia. As the Founder & Lead Organizer of Perth’s First Teenager Hackathon, I brought together hundreds of high school builders to experience the power of collaborative engineering.
When I'm not in the lab routing PCB traces or fine-tuning neural networks, I collaborate with founders, researchers, and engineers who share a commitment to uncompromising quality and meaningful innovation.
