What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles in automation, controls, or R&D where I can apply mechatronics skills, collaborate cross-functionally, and continue technical growth.

I am a Mechatronics Engineer with practical experience in PLC/HMI design, automotive engine overhaul, and control-system projects including SOC estimation for Li-ion batteries. I blend analytical problem-solving with strong communication and organization, proven by engineering projects and classroom impact.

I have taught hundreds of IGCSE/A-Level students, coordinated large-scale assessments, and developed automation and power-electronics prototypes using MATLAB, PLCs, and breadboard converters. I bring adaptability, leadership, and a results-driven approach to multidisciplinary teams.
