What I'm looking for

I'm seeking impactful engineering and technology roles where I can apply mechanical engineering, operational coordination, RPAS knowledge, and continuous learning to innovative projects in a dynamic organization.

I coordinate international communication and operational experimentation activities at the Operational Experimentation and Advanced Technologies Agency (AEOTA), supporting defence organizations, government institutions, and civilian industry partners.

I translate technical and operational requirements between stakeholders, prepare technical and coordination documents in English, and help deliver joint technology and engineering projects.

My mechatronics engineering background includes CAD design and 3D modelling in SolidWorks, engineering analysis and simulation using MATLAB and Mathcad, plus manufacturing, test planning, data analysis, and technical reporting.

I'm pursuing a master's degree in Engineering for Mechanical Defence and Security Systems and have completed Level I RPAS operator training, combining practical drone-operation knowledge with a resourceful approach to unfamiliar technical challenges.
