Summary
I am a final-year Mechatronics Engineering student, set to graduate in a few months. With hands-on experience in machine maintenance, RF testing, electronics troubleshooting, and industrial automation, I have developed strong problem-solving skills in testing, process optimization, and equipment calibration. My technical background includes PLC programming (Siemens), MATLAB, AutoCAD, and embedded systems (Arduino, Python). I am eager to apply my knowledge in roles related to TEST, Process, Automation, Design, PLC, or Equipment Engineering after October, 2025.

Accomplishments
Completed Projects:
Smart Dustbin
This project is about making a Smart Dustbin that will follow its users everywhere. The idea is to reduce the work done by the user when cleaning.
GPS Guided Smart Bluetooth Robot
The idea of this Robot is to make it move from one place to another all by itself just using a GPS antenna. So the Robot is equipped with Bluetooth to enable us to input coordinates and to control it manually.
loT Equipped Smart Room
The idea of this project is to control a room and all the equipment in it sorely based on the use of WI-FI. Use of (Raspberry Pi Pico W).
PCB Error Detection Using MATLAB
The idea is to create Machine Vision Programme that can identify errors on PCB using Pre-processing and post-processing of the image.
PPE Watchguard using Vision AI
This project is about ensuring the safety of every workers by detecting whether they have wearing Protection Equipments during work hours by using CCTV cameras, AI vision system using YOLO software and Jetson Nano as the processor.
Real Time Inventory Management System
RTIMS is project about arranging the inventory in the storage space using RFID chips and scanner. When the a RFID chip is scanned the automated system will move the object to the correct location.
Design Of Experiment For Wi-Fi Data Collection In Indoor Wireless Positioning System Using Multiple
Hetergeneous Devices
This project is about collecting Wi-Fi signals data from router and analysing the data to determine indoor positioning of Hetergeneous Devices. This data later can be used for indoor positioning systems.
