Hello, my name is Maleng, and I'm in my second year of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Canterbury. I aspire to be the best engineer, and I believe this requires understanding various aspects of engineering, including electrical, mechatronics, software, and computer engineering. This is why I have undertaken a variety of projects. My aspiration drives me to learn from my mistakes and strive for excellence.
I averaged excellence throughout college. In 2022, I achieved first place at the Nationals in New Zealand for single barrel DTL, became the president of the chess club, and won the first chess match for St. Kevin's College against Waitaki Boys' in the past decade. In 2021, I was part of the First XV for rugby and the First XI for hockey. I achieved this because I am willing to do whatever it takes to be the best at what I do and never give up.
My family has a farming heritage. My dad grew up on a sheep farm near Otautau, and my mother grew up in a longhouse in Borneo (Malaysia), with a heritage of being rice farmers. When I was young, my father traveled a lot around Asia because of work. Currently, my father has a farm near the Longwoods at Tuatapere (a view of the farm in the background at the top), and I enjoy helping him out with fencing, building and fixing things, hunting, fishing, and the outdoors in general.
As part of a group project, we designed and conducted research using CFD software to reach the theoretical maximum apogee. We then assembled the rocket and successfully launched and recovered it.
Individually, I designed, developed, and researched a rocket using the same process as Level 1 Rocketry, but I manufactured the rocket from scratch.
