About
I am an Electrical & Automation Engineer with proven experience delivering industrial automation solutions, electrical panel systems, and advanced sensor technologies in high-demand manufacturing environments. I bring a strong track record of turning engineering requirements into practical, high-performance solutions—from system design and PLC integration to on-site troubleshooting and commissioning. My experience spans full project lifecycles, including design, fabrication, FAT, and deployment, with a consistent focus on reliability, efficiency, and cost optimization. At Top Glove, I played a key role in driving automation initiatives aligned with Industry 4.0, contributing to multi-million RM project outcomes, achieving zero customer complaints, and leading a team of 9 in panel fabrication and delivery. I consistently identified cost-saving opportunities while maintaining high engineering standards. Currently, I specialize in technical support and solution consulting, working closely with customers and sales teams to solve complex application challenges. I provide end-to-end support across IO-Link, AS-i, condition monitoring, and industrial sensor systems—ensuring the right solution is selected, implemented, and optimized. Key strengths: • PLC programming & troubleshooting (Siemens TIA Portal, Codesys) • Industrial communication (Modbus, Profinet, Profibus, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT) • Electrical panel design (MCC, automation, IoT panels) • Sensor integration & application solutions • Technical problem-solving in live industrial environments • Strong stakeholder engagement (customers, SI, internal teams) I am actively seeking opportunities where I can contribute my technical expertise to drive automation, improve system performance, and deliver measurable business results. If you are looking for someone who can solve problems, deliver results, and add immediate value, let’s connect.
