Hong Kong

I connect AI systems, product delivery, and the physical world.

I’m CHEN Hongli, Henry, a PolyU Electronic Systems & IoT student with a Secondary Major in AI & Data Analytics. I build and validate AI products, observable infrastructure, and connected engineering systems—from models to industrial operations.

From signal to possibility.

Physical systems. Digital intelligence. Human impact.

Entry and URIS
Engineering is most useful when the model, system, and people around it all work together.

My work spans AI infrastructure, product operations, industrial data, full-stack prototypes, and RF research.

Experience

From engineering insight to intelligent experiences.

Four environments shaped one connected path: rigorous engineering research, practical industrial insights, AI product delivery, and user experience.

Jun - Aug 2026

Hong Kong SAR

Product Manager Intern

Worked across AI product delivery, model/API validation, observability, audio workflows, and stakeholder coordination for AI VoiceLink real-time translation.

  • Drove a 12-week AI VoiceLink delivery cycle, producing 4+ PRD and iteration documents and benchmarking 3+ competitor solutions.
  • Coordinated five stakeholder groups through UAT and release acceptance with bilingual SOP, API, and product documentation.
  • Validated Qwen3-Omni and Qwen3-ASR workflows on an 8 × 64 GB MetaX C500 system and advanced a 31-panel Grafana dashboard across 19 Prometheus metrics.

Jul - Aug 2025

Hong Kong SAR

Process Control & OT Security Intern

Applied data analysis and security discipline in a safety-critical industrial environment spanning condition monitoring, PI historian data, and OT checks.

  • Observed testing and commissioning for four IIoT gateways and accompanied vibration-sensor installation in a unit control room.
  • Built a Python Isolation Forest prototype for pump-pressure monitoring and extracted minute-level operational data for engineering review.
  • Completed vulnerability checks on four OT machines, independently handling the final two and documenting findings.

RF power-amplifier research

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

URIS Student Researcher

Completed a 24-month study of a 13.56-MHz Class-E power amplifier under load mismatch, combining ADS design work with a reproducible Python model.

  • Established a 10.2-W ADS baseline with 83% simulated drain efficiency and ZVS/ZDS checks.
  • Built a reproducible Python model and evaluated 144 phase-resolved VSWR cases.
  • Bounded frequency and duty adjustment reduced worst-case modeled peak drain voltage by 41% on the comparison grid.
