Muhammad Muadz As Sabiq

Aspiring Mechatronics Engineer — Robotics & AI

I build intelligent systems that work in the real world. Training with discipline toward Engineering at a world-leading university.

About

The student behind the work

I'm a MARA-sponsored student on the Cambridge A-Level Fast Track at Kolej MARA Seremban, after graduating from MRSM Gemencheh in the pure science stream with 10A+ in SPM and a CGPA of 3.95.

My interests sit where robotics, AI and mechatronics meet — building things that sense the world and act on it. Outside the lab I served as President of the Student Representative Council, and in 2025 I was named a MARA National Co-Curricular Icon.

I'm working toward a Bachelor of Engineering at a world-leading university, and I treat that preparation like training: consistent, measured, and honest about where I still need to improve.

"I like building things that actually work in the physical world."

Focus

Field of preparation

Three areas I'm building before applying — alongside IELTS (September) and ESAT (October) preparation for 2026.

01

Mathematics

Mathematics and Further Mathematics — the analytical core of engineering, and the area I push hardest on.

A-Level MathsFurther Maths
02

Physical sciences

Physics and Chemistry — connecting equations to how real systems actually behave.

PhysicsChemistry
03

Robotics, AI & mechatronics

Computer vision, embedded systems and automation — where my projects live today, and the springboard to the autonomous systems and drones I want to build next.

Featured project

Sortify — vision-based waste sorting

A team-built machine that sees a piece of waste and sorts it automatically.

A camera feeds live video to a YOLO object-detection model running on a Raspberry Pi. It identifies plastic, metal and paper, and sends the top detection over MQTT to a controller that drives the mechanism and routes each item into the right bin. Every sorted item is logged to a time-series database and shown on a live dashboard.

My role

I owned the software side — training and fine-tuning the YOLO detection model, exporting it to run on the Raspberry Pi, and writing the detection and control code. The physical build and mechanical sorting were a team effort.

What it taught me

On clean images the model did well; on real Malaysian waste it struggled — crushed cans read as bottles, clear plastic vanished under bad lighting. Capturing our own local training images helped more than generic internet data, and tuning the detection threshold meant trading false positives against missed items. The lesson: reliability comes from data quality and deployment constraints, not just model accuracy.

Recognition

National champion · Creative AI IoT, MRSM RoboChallenge 2024 — and Silver at the International Robotic Olympiad 2025 (Busan, Korea).

Built with my brother Umar at the national stage, and a teammate at the international stage.

Leadership & beyond

Engineering is the goal; leadership, service and self-study are how I get there.

Leadership

President of the Student Representative Council (2024/2025) and MARA National Co-Curricular Icon 2025 — leading teams, events and the Projek NADIM leadership programme.

Team leadershipPublic speaking

P.A.S.A.R

Portable Anaerobic System for Alternative Resources — a team STEM project: a portable anaerobic digester that turns organic waste into biogas for cooking. I led the team across the project. Gold & Best Team at the Ideation STEM Science Fair (USM), and an Excellence Award at the International Innovation & Exhibition Fair.

Milestones

The road toward engineering, so far.

2021–2025

MRSM Gemencheh

Pure science stream; 10A+ in SPM and a CGPA of 3.95.

2024

Sortify wins national

Champion, Creative AI IoT (MRSM RoboChallenge). Elected President of the Student Representative Council. Champion, Negeri Sembilan Scout Jamboree.

2025

Silver in Busan

Silver at the International Robotic Olympiad, Korea. Named MARA National Co-Curricular Icon.

2026

A landmark year

Began the A-Level Fast Track at Kolej MARA Seremban — AS Mathematics in June, then AS Physics & Chemistry, A2 Mathematics and ESAT in October, with IELTS in September. Awarded Pengakap Raja (King’s Scout) and Gold at the Malaysia Nuclear Science Olympiad.
