What I'm looking for

I’m interested in applying my analytical and technical skills to real-world problems and decision-making, particularly in business, technology and commercially focused environments.

At Route Management Group: SA Truck Bodies, I work on practical engineering, automation and manufacturing-related projects. I develop systems from concept to implementation, combining electronics, PCB design, embedded software and mechanical design.

I developed an autonomous guided vehicle to transport trailers through a production environment, and an energy-meter calibration and reporting platform for data analysis and automated reports. I’ve also developed PLC programs for motor control and taught students NC programming and machining principles.
