About

Hi! I am Athena, a First Class Honours Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduate with strong interests in applied machine learning, artificial intelligence, data, signal processing, embedded systems, and IC design. Through my degree, I have developed technical experience in Python, C/C++, MATLAB, PCB design, circuit design, digital systems, control systems, and hardware-software integration. My academic projects have included smart sensing systems, smart meter development, RFID detector PCB design, integrated circuit design, and a Smart Violin final-year project using sensors and embedded electronics to support performance analysis and feedback. Alongside my studies, I have also worked as a private online tutor, teaching GCSE and A-Level Maths and Physics, which strengthened my communication, mentoring, and problem-solving skills. I am particularly interested in applying AI, machine learning, data, and engineering to solve real-world problems. I am currently actively looking for graduate roles related to Electrical and Electronic Engineering, AI, machine learning, data, or technology-focused engineering.
