What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles in automation, embedded systems, or robotics where I can apply firmware and PLC skills, learn industrial practices, and contribute to product development.

I am an aspiring Automation Engineer with a strong foundation in mechatronics, embedded firmware, and PLC programming, currently pursuing a B.Sc. in Automation and Robotics.

I have a proven record of practical project work building PIC-based devices — including a custom wristwatch with RTC and bitmap OLED, a digital scale with HX711 integration, and an automated car wash simulation — all with C firmware and hardware design.

I was recognized as a top-performing student in high school (GPA 5.0/5.0) and won first place in the National Mechatronics Championship in 2023 and 2024 for PLC/microcontroller programming and electropneumatics/hydraulics.

I work with simulation tools (Proteus, PLC simulation), CAD for robotics design, and version control (Git/GitHub), and I am seeking hands-on roles where I can apply embedded systems and automation expertise to real-world robotics or industrial automation projects.
