Arumugam Ramesh

I am a mechanical engineer by training, an IT geek by choice and I have more than 10 years of experience under my sleeve. I have been part of various teams contributing solutions in IT and Mechanical Engineering.

I moved to Singapore in early 2016. Singapore opened the stage for me to learn, explore and contribute. My employers here have helped me grow my engineering and management skills. I have learned to be more effective team player by working on the productive criticism I have been offered.

However, I believe it is the right time to take my next step to discover new pathways for professional and personal growth. I am actively seeking a team that can use my experience to bring in new chemistry to their talent pool and help me expand my horizon with new things to learn.
