About Me
Hi, I'm Yu Shen —
A B.E. in Automation graduate with 2+ years of hands-on experience in
PLC/HMI programming (Allen-Bradley/Siemens) & FANUC robotics. Passionate about
industrial automation, system integration, and troubleshooting to optimize
manufacturing processes.
Looking for Controls Engineer, Robotics Technician, or Automation Specialist roles where I can apply my technical skills to real-world challenges.
