What I'm looking for

I am looking for UK-based roles in software/data validation or automation that offer hands-on technical challenges, cross-functional collaboration, and opportunities to scale validation and control systems.

I am a results-driven Software and Mechatronics Engineer with hands-on experience in SQL data validation, Python automation, and embedded systems. I have reviewed and validated complex Oracle SQL queries and improved reporting accuracy across analytics workflows.

At Microsoft I validated 50+ multi-table Oracle SQL queries, identified aggregation and join-condition errors, and automated validation workflows to reduce manual effort by roughly 30%. I design anomaly detection and structured validation checks to improve data reliability.

My engineering background includes PLC automation, PID control tuning, sensor integration, and CAD/ANSYS simulation work, delivering multi-domain solutions that integrate software, hardware, and data. I have applied these skills in industrial research and workshop settings to improve system efficiency and stability.

I seek UK-based opportunities in software engineering, data validation, AI evaluation, or automation systems where I can apply my technical skills, deliver scalable validation processes, and contribute to cross-functional teams.
