-
2018: Consultant on SCADA system installation for electrical power substations. We the consulting team checked all the technical aspects such as the selection of devices based on specification, technical drawing, method of statement for installation, Factory Acceptant Test (FAT), Insulation Test, Site Acceptant Test (SAT), Testing, and Commissioning.
-
2017 - 2018: Part-time Project Manager for Senserey Construction Co., Ltd.
-
2016: Design and build mechatronics systems and machinery such as solar tracker system and screw flight forming machine. I directly lead a team to design and simulate the machine in computer software. Then, the machine was manufactured and successfully tested.
-
2010 - 2017: Control programming such as Labview, SCADA, xPC target of Simulink Real-time toolbox (MATLAB), C/C++ for Arduino, and Python for Raspberry Pi. These tools are used to control machines and especially robots.
-
2010 - 2017: Use of electronic devices and cards such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PCI 6601/6602 from National Instrument, and Speedgoat target machine.
