What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on field roles in power, renewable energy, or industrial sites where I can apply electrical, solar, SCADA, and robotics skills, with a safety-focused team and growth opportunities.

I am a results-oriented electrical engineer with hands-on experience across aviation, oil & gas, renewable energy, and hospitality sectors. I specialize in power systems, solar installations, SCADA monitoring, generator maintenance, and robotic/drone prototyping.

My practical work includes installing transformers and service lines, performing live-line fault detection, and executing hybrid/off-grid solar projects for homes and SMEs. I have supported rig-site temporary power setups and maintained SCADA-controlled systems at airport facilities.

I build and program drones and robotic systems using Arduino and sensors, and I routinely perform site assessments, load calculations, inverter setup, and battery charging optimization. I also have experience with residential and industrial wiring, DB board installations, and fault tracing.

I bring strong safety awareness, clear communication, teamwork, and over five years of defensive driving experience. I am committed to delivering measurable value on projects in the mining, oil, and energy industries.
