What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a Mechanical Engineering graduate specialized in Mechatronics, with a strong foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of engineering. My academic journey at the University of Glasgow, where I earned my MSc in Mechatronics with Honours, equipped me with advanced knowledge in digital signal processing, robotics, and control systems. I have a passion for leveraging technology to solve complex engineering challenges and improve operational efficiency.

With one year of experience in the manufacturing industry, I have honed my skills in PLC programming, SCADA system design, and basic electronics. My role as an Assistant Mechanical Engineer at Jagadamba Engineering allowed me to lead projects that ensured compliance with ISO standards while optimizing production processes. I successfully implemented CNC programming techniques that increased production capacity significantly, showcasing my ability to blend technical skills with practical applications.
