What I'm looking for

I seek to contribute to innovative projects that enhance efficiency in engineering.

I am a self-motivated electrical technologist with three years of experience in the field, dedicated to ensuring process stability and production quality. My expertise lies in designing and maintaining electrical systems that enhance safety and efficiency in production environments. At James Finlays, I successfully designed a PLC-controlled blending machine that minimized human contact during production, significantly improving safety for employees.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to continuous improvement and team building. I have effectively managed power distribution networks, ensuring compliance with safety standards while enhancing energy efficiency. My internships at Rai Plywoods and Kaisugu Limited provided me with hands-on experience in various electrical engineering tasks, including installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of electrical systems. I am proficient in using electrical engineering software such as AutoCAD, MATLAB, and PLC programming, which allows me to contribute effectively to innovative projects.
