    "summary": "I am a mechanical design engineer with 5 years of experience developing outdoor LED lighting and battery manufacturing\nequipment. Drawn to engineering because I like the process of creating tangible things and I also find joy in making tools and\nequipments more ergonomic regardless of where they are used. In my opinion improving the human-tool interaction is a very\nimportant aspect of engineering. I highly value attentive, clear communication and openness to discussing ideas during work.",
