About Me.

I am a dedicated, results-oriented graduate of McMaster University’s B.Tech: Automation Engineering Technology program. During my time in the program, I gained extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in industrial automation, robotics programming, and system design. I completed a capstone project where I led the design and programming of an automated greenhouse system, integrating sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers to enable real-time monitoring and control. Through my coursework and projects, I developed proficiency in tools such as RSLogix/Studio 5000, FANUC ROBOGUIDE, and SCADA systems and honed my ability to troubleshoot complex hardware and software systems.

Additionally, I worked on advanced projects such as "Arduino 33 Nano to ESP 32: Modbus Communication", where I enabled seamless communication between devices for efficient data exchange, and "Bluetooth BLE Motor Control with Arduino UNO," which involved implementing wireless motor control using modern Bluetooth communication protocols. My academic and project experiences provided me with the technical expertise and problem-solving skills necessary to excel in dynamic and innovative automation environments.
