About

I’m a mechanical engineering graduate with hands-on experience in mechanical design, technical support, and engineering problem-solving. I’ve supported CAD design and product development, contributed to technical reviews, and helped with technical reporting and documentation. I also bring practical training from workshop environments, where I applied engineering principles to solve real-world technical problems. With experience building Arduino-based automation systems and a foundational FANUC robot programming background, I’m ready to support robotics and automation projects while communicating complex ideas clearly and working effectively with a team.
