What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level role in biomedical/device engineering where I can apply EEG, signal processing, and device-design skills, work in collaborative clinical teams, and contribute to affordable medical technologies and validation processes.

I am a Biomedical Engineering graduate with hands-on experience in medical device maintenance, imaging analysis, and surgical support. I developed a cost-effective EEG brain–machine interface for education and rehabilitation, gained signal-processing expertise in MATLAB, and worked with heart–lung machine operations and hospital equipment calibration.

I combine practical hospital internships with a strong technical toolkit—MATLAB, Python, C, 3D Slicer, Creo—and a focus on low-cost medical device design and validation. I am collaborative, detail-oriented, and driven to apply engineering solutions to improve clinical outcomes and accessibility.
