Summary

As a seasoned Machine Setup Technician, with a Mechanical engineering background, I have very good knowledge in setting up, maintaining and troubleshooting various kinds of injection mould machinery. Strengths lie in ability to quickly diagnose malfunctions and perform necessary repairs to minimize downtime. Have consistently improved operational efficiency through keen attention to detail and application of advanced technical skills. Proven track record of contributing to team success by sharing knowledge and refining processes for optimal productivity.

I also gained lots of skills in my few years working as a Project engineer and a QAQC technician, thereby touching vast opportunities to learning project management skills, blueprint interpretation in construction. I am also experienced in Auto mechanic works, as a first degree holder mechanical engineering, I do suspension and engine repairs on most cars.

I also weld SMAW, a skill I learnt having worked a long time alongside welders as a welding inspector/NDT and QAQC technician.

I am very keen to learn and improving my skills and talents, where and whenever I am faced opportunities.
