Summary
Harold Tay is a semi-retired engineer based in Singapore focused on applying practical technology to marine and environmental conservation. With over a decade of engineering experience including a long tenure as Senior Engineer at TMSI, NUS, he now develops low-cost open-source AUVs, data loggers, and sensor systems for environmental monitoring. Trained as a mechanical engineer at the University of Texas at Austin, he operates at the intersection of hardware design, field deployment, and conservation science rather than deep specialization in any single discipline. His work emphasizes pragmatic, low-cost solutions that enable domain experts to collect better environmental data. Even in semi-retirement he continues to prototype and iterate on accessible tools that lower the barrier to marine research and monitoring.
