Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Chesang is a Kenyan mechatronics engineer and research assistant with a decade of practical experience bridging web development, industrial automation, and XR/digital twin systems. He combines formal training in mechatronics and Siemens SMSCP certification with self-taught backend (Flask, Laravel) and frontend (Vue.js) skills, and practical use of open protocols like MQTT and Linux for IIoT solutions. At Dedan Kimathi University he contributed to PLC and XR research, co-instructed CPD industrial automation courses, and co-supervised level-3 Siemens trainee projects, demonstrating both technical depth and mentorship. Now at MSU’s Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering department and pursuing advanced studies, he applies mechatronics to agricultural and biosystems challenges. A decentralized-tech enthusiast and Binance Masterclass alumnus, he also freelances as a digital twin and XR developer, blending research rigor with hands-on prototyping. Less obvious: he pairs competitive technical leadership (WorldSkills secretariat) with grassroots community roles, signaling strengths in coordination across academic, industrial, and local settings.
