About

I'm a hands-on Mechatronics & Robotics Engineer who works across the full stack — from industrial maintenance, pneumatic and PLC fault-finding, and machine improvements, to robotics integration, machine vision and rapid prototyping.

Currently at ADEG, supporting automated production machinery (gantry, waterjet, conveyor and pneumatic systems). Previously I assembled and commissioned robotic gantry and conveyor systems, and did board-level electronics repair and computer-vision defect inspection.

My Master's in Robotics at RMIT ended with a custom 3D printer built for their Material Science Research Team.
