Ying Kai Chan

Passionate Mechanical Engineering fresh graduate from University of Nottingham Malaysia under sponsorship of JPA. Open-minded engineering student willing to explore into various fields. My final year project was associated to machine learning data-driven surrogate model to predict inputs-outputs complex relationship of combustion processes.

I am a highly motivated professional with a diverse background in engineering, customer relation, production operations, and marketing. Previously interning as an Application Engineer at KEYENCE Malaysia, I've honed my skills in client engagement, lead generation and engineering solutions. My experiences have exposed me to a wide range of industries and cutting-edge technologies.

During my tenure at Hartalega, I contributed to critical projects focused on cost-effective solutions, energy efficiency, and process optimization. This hands-on experience has been invaluable in broadening my understanding of production operations.

Previously, I served as a Marketing and Administrative Assistant at Proactive Strategic Reliability Sdn Bhd, where I played a pivotal role in creating impactful marketing materials and ensuring effective documentation.

I have completed my Master in Engineering with First-Class Honors in Mechanical, Materials, and Manufacturing Engineering. My involvement in various student societies, including Institution of Engineers Malaysia and Youth Entrepreneurs Society, allowed me to take on leadership roles and develop a well-rounded skill set.

Proficient in tools like SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS, I'm passionate about leveraging technology to drive innovation. I'm dedicated to continuous learning and am excited to explore opportunities that allow me to apply my knowledge and skills.
