Developed a revolutionary paperless braille writing technology that eliminates the need to memorise mirror image dot patterns and provides real-time feedback, significantly reducing errors. This device retains the tactile feel and multiline spacing of traditional braille slates while digitising the experience, enhancing global braille literacy and promoting independence for individuals with visual impairments.

In my internship, I developed solutions to reduce paint defects on metal components by analyzing daily defect data and identifying root causes. Gained hands-on experience with painting processes like phosphating, electro-phoretic deposition, and robotic painting, while applying quality control tools such as TQM and Six Sigma to improve the Paint Shop's Straight Pass Ratio (SPR).
