Christina Mershid
Mechatronics Engineer with hands-on experience in embedded systems, automotive diagnostics, CAD design, and assistive technology. Strong background in developing and integrating electromechanical systems from concept to functional prototype. Completed a major final year project focused on a wearable smart navigation assistant for visually impaired users, combining real-time sensing, user interaction, and hardware integration. Motivated to contribute to innovative engineering, automation, robotics, automotive, or product development environments.
- Managed outreach and communication with brands, sponsors, exhibitors, and partners for large-scale festivals and events
- Supported project planning, proposal follow-ups, partnership coordination, PR communication, and event operations
- Coordinated team tasks, on-site logistics, exhibitor needs, guest flow, brand activations, and real-time operational follow-ups during event days
- Assisted in automotive diagnostics, maintenance, and troubleshooting operations
- Performed battery, alternator, ABS, and sensor diagnostics using scanning tools
- Observed ECU programming, immobilizer procedures, and key-fob programming
- Supported maintenance tasks across cooling, suspension, and engine systems
- Designed and implemented a wearable smart belt for indoor navigation and obstacle awareness for visually impaired users
- Integrated Raspberry Pi 5, OAK-D Lite RGB-D camera, power bank, push button, Bluetooth audio, L298N motor driver, and dual vibration motors into a functional prototype
- Combined depth sensing, visual SLAM, object detection, speech interaction, audio guidance, and haptic alerts for real-time user feedback
- Built an infrastructure-free assistive system focused on portability, accessibility, embedded processing, and user-centered engineering design
- Contributed to hardware integration, wiring, component placement, testing, and documentation
