Summary

I’m a passionate and hands-on professional with a strong background in Python programming, electronics, and security systems. With experience in 3D printing, PLC ladder logic, and MATLAB, I enjoy solving complex problems and bringing creative solutions to life. I’ve worked with security systems like Honeywell Vista and Digital Watchdog, while also developing my skills in electronic circuit design and quality control. I thrive in team environments but am equally comfortable working independently. Always eager to learn and grow, I’m excited to contribute my skills to help your team succeed.
