Marcus Lam

Electrical + Software + IT Engineer

Expert in R&D. I design and build hardware and software end to end — from the circuit board to the cloud — and ship the result.

About

I’m an electrical engineer with software skills, based in Hong Kong.

For years I’ve worked across the whole stack — circuit boards, firmware, mobile apps, web services and the servers behind them. I like problems that don’t respect the line between hardware and software, and I take them from idea to a working, shipped product.

Today I build and ship under Lampstand Technology: live apps like ImageCal, an AI phone service called Ringly, and more in progress. I also take on technical solutions for hardware or software projects.

Selected work

Things I’ve designed and built.

A mix of rehabilitation hardware, IoT, and shipped apps — each taken from concept to a real, working device or product.

Hand of Hope — EMG-driven hand rehabilitation exoskeleton in use
Rehabilitation robotics

Hand of Hope

A wearable hand-rehabilitation exoskeleton that reads the wearer’s own muscle signals (EMG) and helps drive the motion — so patients recovering from stroke or hand injury can retrain real movement, guided by their own intent.

Pet Scale app — a cat on a smart mat showing a 2.08 kg reading
IoT + app

Pet Scale

A smart mat that quietly weighs your pet whenever they step on it, then logs the trend to a cloud app — wrapped in a warm, illustrated interface that makes everyday health tracking feel friendly rather than clinical.

Visio Roller — a wheelchair training and assessment simulator
Rehabilitation + hardware

Visio Roller

A wheelchair training and assessment simulator: a powered platform and ramp paired with a live on-screen dashboard, so therapists can run and measure mobility exercises in a safe, repeatable setup.

ImageCal — turn a photo of an event into a calendar entry
Live on the app stores

ImageCal

Snap a photo of any invitation, flyer or handwritten note and ImageCal pulls out the event and drops it into your calendar — the GPT-5 vision project that finally crossed the accuracy line worth shipping. Live on iOS and Android.
