Summary
Professional Sumary
Recently graduated with a Master of Science in Automation Engineering, I bring strong expertise in robotics, control systems, and industrial automation. Skilled in CAD design (Fusion 360, SolidWorks), 3D prototyping, PLC programming, SCADA/HMI (Siemens, Rockwell, WinCC), and robotic system modeling (MATLAB, 20-SIM). My Bachelor thesis focused on the Design and implementation of a robotic arm with a phone camera, while my Master thesis, “AI-Driven Maturity Classification for Robotic Harvesting in Agricultural Environments,” integrated AI, computer vision, and robotics for real-world agricultural automation. I am eager to apply my skills to design, test, and deploy advanced robotic systems in complex environments.

Skills
Management Skills – As an Assistant Lecturer, I managed practical lab sessions, supervised student projects, and organized tutorials for over 50 students, ensuring smooth course delivery and mentoring
Desire to Learn – Proactively expanded my skills in SCADA programming (WinCC) outside the university curriculum by following online resources and develop projects independently, demonstrating my continuous learning mindset
Creativity – I enjoyed finding smarter ways to do things I always look ways to simplify them through programming Back in high school, when I didn’t own a scientific calculator, I used my old Nokia phone and Java’s math library to build a small app that could calculate sine, cosine, and tangent functions
