 --**Career Goals and Dreams**--
 
 As I delve into the industrial world particularly on its specifics on `mechatronics and robotics`, I aim on becoming one of the key proponents that will bring forth industry 4.0 excelling in the fields of <mark> mechanical design, embedded systems, and data science </mark>.
 
 At last update, I have a part-time engagement in a funded project as a `technical lead` on the development and construction of a compact anaerobic digester within my university's campus. I am tasked with the design and deployment of this system. This comes after proposing an idea to repurpose food waste as fuel for cooking from its biogas.
 
-A dream of mine is to see a local autonomous robot sorting system on a materials recovery facility here in the country just like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjv_wDOblfc) one overseas by AMP robotics! Establishing a recycling infrastructure of this scale would be transformative, and I am committed to developing the competencies needed to one day contribute to such operations.

 With that being said, this website serves as a way to showcase my `experience, work and upskillings` done to be of service! I’ll also be sharing some personal interests whenever I find the time :> Thanks for visiting!

 ### LEARNINGS:
 
-Definitely this is an exciting learnings to see (atleast for me), where this is not even discussed formally in class. I'm still constantly exploring it admittedly and one of the things that I have set my eyes on is how this can program industrial robots for my suited needs like verification of its placement in the assembly line or the need to constantly push and update changes in controlling robots!
+Definitely this is an exciting and new field to learn given that this is not even discussed formally in class. This is still the basic form of knowing the ROS framework and I'm still constantly exploring it admittedly. One of the things that I have set my eyes on is how this can program industrial robots for my suited needs like verification of its placement in the assembly line or the need to constantly push and update changes in controlling robots!
 
 Of course this comes `hand in hand` with industrial automation standards and definitely this can be applied further when PLC and/or other advanced technologies is added into the mix. For now I will settle on this but will reflect on how I can further improve as this as my basis for my learnings!
