I maintain industrial electrical systems and build PIC-based automation and control upgrades.
OmanWhat I'm looking for
At Sigma Petroleum Services, I maintain generators, pumps, motors, control circuits, sensors, and pneumatic valves in the oil and gas sector. I also designed and programmed a PIC MCU-based control upgrade that reduced annual downtime by around 24 hours and improved the user interface.
Previously at Hoya Lens Canada and Coordinate Industries, I troubleshot automated production and aerospace electro-mechanical equipment, interpreted schematics, installed panel wiring, completed preventive maintenance, and supported quality audits under IPC Class 3 standards.
My B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Brunswick strengthened my circuit design, motor control, PCB design, and embedded programming skills. I also hold a Robotics Engineering Technician diploma from Algonquin College, where I built practical experience with PLCs, robotics, sensors, pneumatics, and industrial automation.
I enjoy designing deployable embedded solutions, including a BLE bio-signal acquisition module, an autonomous obstacle-avoiding wheelchair, and a PLC-controlled production line.
