What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining robotics/automation engineering and technical sales where I can drive international business development, lead proposal engineering, and deliver turnkey industrial solutions.

I am a results-driven Mechanical Engineer with over six years of hands-on experience across power plant construction, oil & gas, chemicals, and renewable energy sectors. I combine fabrication expertise with product design and industrial automation to deliver practical engineering solutions.

My background includes fabrication of tanks, pressure vessels and heat exchangers, CNC programming and sheet-metal laser solutions, and mechanical services for major industrial clients. I have worked on nuclear instrumentation packages and panel erection & commissioning, adhering to safety and regulatory norms.

In sales and business development roles I led international technical sales for fiber laser and robotics solutions, managed RFQ/RFP proposal preparation, and handled CRM-driven lead generation for markets in the USA, Canada, Europe, Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Currently I focus on robotics and industrial automation — from AMRs and manipulators to machine vision — while supporting proposal engineering, BIM-based modeling services, and project costing to drive delivery and long-term customer relationships.
