About
I am an engineering professional with a decade of experience working across various disciplines such as computer science, electronics engineering, mechatronics engineering and robotics. I have contributed to these fields in both the university and industry sectors, and I recognise myself as a multidisciplinary engineer. I like learning on the job, tackling complex problems, and contributing to successful team outcomes.

I worked in a start-up company, "Robo Helix Pty Ltd", where I built a new team to design the electronics, program the motion systems, and identify the integration challenges. In the process, I consulted with suppliers, purchased the parts, mentored junior engineers, guided the tradespeople, and worked with the mechanical team to integrate the robotic machine. The key outcome was developing the robotic machine from scratch in a year. Since 2024, I have contributed as a Consultant. More details can be found in the link.

Key Responsibilities
• Electrical design, panel layout, PLC, Safety and HMI programming, testing, CE compliance, etc.
Achievements
• Multiple machines are now commissioned in the US, Europe and Australia.
