Process engineer who builds his own tools

I'm a Process Engineer at Greatech, a precision custom machine builder in Penang. Since September 2026 I'm in charge of fabrication and assembly processes for mass production, from fabricated parts through to high-level assembly, and I plan and edit production layouts in ZWCAD on the industrial engineering side.

Before that I spent four years as a Technical Support Engineer: commissioning machines onsite for EV and semiconductor lines, writing FMEA and work instructions, and chasing root causes on the floor.

On the side I build the tools I wish the floor had, like a machine downtime alert and HMI dashboard that shows live machine status and pings the team the moment a machine stops, built without a software team. Night shift in the build lab, Oyen supervising.

Say hi

Open to process and automation conversations, AI-for-manufacturing ideas, and side-project collabs. If you're fixing something on a production line, I probably want to hear about it.
