What I'm looking for

I seek a role in mechanical engineering or technology innovation that leverages my technical foundation, hands-on operations experience, and leadership potential in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a recent Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Technology graduate based in Hangzhou, China, with hands-on experience across safety management, logistics operations, education, and agricultural work. I combine technical coursework in website design and cybersecurity with practical leadership roles in fast-paced environments.

In professional roles I led safety and security teams, managed logistics operations processing high package volumes, and improved operational efficiency through process changes that reduced errors and boosted repeat customer rates. I have taught and designed curricula for young learners and supported construction and heavy-equipment waste management projects.

I bring cross-cultural experience from Korea and Zambia, foundational product-design training, and a strong work ethic focused on problem-solving, team leadership, and technology-driven solutions. I am eager to apply my technical knowledge and operational experience to mechanical engineering, product innovation, or technology roles where I can grow into entrepreneurial and leadership responsibilities.
