As a System Assurance Engineer, my focus is on RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) engineering, FLS (Fire and Life Safety) Engineering and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) coordination and management. I work on both local and international projects, such as the Metro Manila Subway Project, specifically for the Telecommunication System.Scope of Work:1. RAMS Engineering for Telecommunication System2. EMC/EMI Engineering Coordination for Telecommunication System and Power SCADA System3. Fire and Life Safety Engineering for Telecommunication System, Power SCADA and Automatic Fare Collection SystemIn my role, I ensure that railway systems, particularly telecommunications, meet the highest standards of performance and safety throughout their lifecycle as referred to the standards of EN50126, EN50128 and EN50129. I analyze and optimize system reliability, identify potential failure modes, and develop strategies to minimize downtime and enhance safety. Additionally, I play a role in the Fire and Life Safety Engineering for a few sub-systems, making sure that they adhere to the NFPA 130 Standard for Passenger Railway System. Creating the Safety Plan and ensuring the Design of the sub-system respects the standards.I also manage EMC aspects, ensuring that all electronic systems within the railway infrastructure do not interfere with one another or with external systems. This involves conducting thorough management and coordination with subcontractors to ensure compliance with international standards and regulations such as IEC 61000.

As a member of the System Assurance Team, I am responsible for managing and preparing RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) documents for local and international (Hanoi, Jakarta) clients. My work has a direct impact on the serviceability of different system projects such as Railway Systems, Elevator Systems, and Escalator Systems.My primary responsibility is to analyze these systems using various techniques, such as Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Hazard Analysis and Hazard Log, and Safety Cases (Preliminary, Design, and Final). I work alongside the Director and other team members to ensure that all RAMS documents are comprehensive, accurate, and of high quality.In addition, I collaborate with clients to understand their needs and requirements, and provide them with support and guidance throughout the process. My strong analytical skills and attention to detail are crucial in identifying potential issues and risks, and recommending solutions to ensure that projects are completed successfully.

Designed and prototyped an autosampler for sewage water which is used for rapid production as compared to current autosamplers in the market. Autosampler is designed to the specification and requirements given by the Environmental Health Institute (EHI) for virus identification in deep underground sewage water. EHI and SIT has expressed that the production cost for the current autosamplers is 50% of the current autosampler while improving the functions of its predecessor.

As a member of the Advanced Additive Manufacturing Team at A*STAR's Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre, I was responsible for a variety of tasks aimed at improving the mechanical properties of metal powder used for repairing aircraft turbines. My day-to-day responsibilities included performing material and metallurgy analyses using the AxioVision software, maintaining lab cleanliness, and assisting material scientists in their research efforts.In addition, I played a key role in supporting the team's efforts to enhance the performance of additive manufacturing machines. This included creating programs on software to allow for better analysis of materials, as well as conducting powder characterization studies.One of my major achievements during my time with the team was helping to improve the mechanical properties of aircraft turbine repairs through the use of metallurgical studies. By increasing the ultimate strength of the welding, we were able to significantly enhance the performance of these repairs.
