About
Penultimate year Robotics & Mechatronics Engineering student at Swinburne University with hands-on experience across mechanical design, embedded systems, PLC automation, computer vision, and systems integration. Proven ability to take projects from concept to working prototype, from an automated robotic arm capstone to industrial PLC control logic and a computer vision-guided pick-and-place system currently in development. Competing in university rover challenges as a Robotics Subsystem Engineer and leading the Swinburne Engineering Student Society as President.
Experience
Robotics Subsystem Engineer at Swinburne Rover Team (2025– Present)
- Redesigned robotic arm components and led end-effector development, improving subsystem integration and mechanical reliability on a competition rover platform.
- Selected motors and drivers against torque/speed requirements; resolved gripper clearance and gripping-force issues through iterative prototyping and physical testing.
- Benchmarked datalink performance under noisy wireless conditions — evaluated bandwidth, throughput, and camera latency to identify and resolve communication bottlenecks.
Society President at Swinburne Engineering Student Society (SESS) (2025 – Present)
- Direct a 200+ member engineering society; oversee industry engagement events, employer panels, and professional development programming to strengthen graduate career readiness.
- Secured sponsorships and coordinated alumni networking events and site visits; managed committee planning to grow society reach and impact.
Produce Supervisor at Woolworths (2019-01 – Present)
