Engineering journey

Originally trained in Automotive Design & Manufacturing Engineering at Chulalongkorn University. During an IoT exchange at IMT Atlantique in France right when modern LLMs took off, saw the potential of combining software intelligence with systems engineering and made a decisive pivot to Computer Science.
