I’ve always been drawn to practical engineering and building real systems. During my studies, I realised I enjoyed working with electronics, programming controllers, and designing mechanical parts more than anything else. This led me to choose Robotics Engineering, where I can apply what I learn directly into hands-on projects and see real results.

I now have solid experience in embedded C/C++, STM32 microcontroller development, and integrating sensors and actuators into working systems. I’m confident using SolidWorks for mechanical design and comfortable moving between hardware and software tasks. Through university projects, I’ve built and tested autonomous robots, implemented control algorithms, and worked through real engineering problems from start to finish. I enjoy teamwork, problem solving, and taking responsibility for my part of a project. Winning the Best Buggy Robot award strengthened my passion for robotics and proved my ability to deliver reliable, well-engineered solutions. I’m now looking to continue developing these skills in a professional environment.

Designed and built an autonomous robotic buggy for a university competition, combining both hardware and software work. I wrote the C code for movement control, sensor reading, and simple decision-making so the robot could react on its own. I also helped with SolidWorks modelling to make sure the mechanical parts were strong and stable. Worked closely with my team to fix issues, test ideas, and improve the robot’s speed and reliability. We won Best Buggy Robot, which recognised our teamwork, creativity, and solid engineering.
