What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in engineering that fosters innovation and growth.

I am an Instrumentation and Control Engineer with a strong foundation in CAD design, simulation, and mechatronics development. My expertise lies in utilizing programming languages such as Python, C++, and Matlab/Simulink to design and implement innovative, data-driven applications and IoT systems. I have a proven track record of developing real-time monitoring solutions that enhance operational efficiency and safety in production environments.

During my internship at Amstrong Company, I gained hands-on experience in the installation and maintenance of control systems, collaborating with engineering teams to troubleshoot and optimize automation processes. My personal projects, including an IoT-based weather monitoring system, showcase my ability to integrate sensors and develop user-friendly interfaces for data visualization. I am committed to leveraging cutting-edge technologies to deliver impactful engineering solutions that address complex challenges.
