Bio

I'm a Mechanical Engineer turned IT Professional and Author. I came into the Information Technology world because someone challenged me to. I picked up UiPath when working on evaluating it as the RPA tool of choice for my company. With focus, I was able to go from a total Rookie to Robot Master in just under 45 days. Over the past few weeks now, I've been exploring many number of ideas to use UiPath at work and also as a tool of personal choice in order to automate some of my mundane and personal software oriented tasks. I'm looking forward to a technologically advanced world where humans will coexist alongside Robots that will help people in their mundane and repetitive tasks and yet have all human sensitive traditions alive! 'A World where Technology and Humanity will be at their harmonious best ...' At heart, I'm still a grease monkey with no desire to lose touch with the nuts, bolts and wrenches I left behind. I spent 10 years of life building my 1923 Model T Street Rod in my little 1-car garage. I picked up 3D Printing when I first saw the Printrbot SimpleMetal. It gave me the opportunity to learn something that merged intangible software code with physical objects. My initial attempts at making prototype parts for my 1923 Model T street rod were met with moderate to great success. Today, I own a hoard of five 3D printers and I use them to solve plenty of practical problems around the house, and also create new objects. Along the way, I picked up my lost love for electronics, and have been experimenting with the Basic Stamp, the Arduino , the Raspberry Pi, the ESP8266, ESP32 and lately, the BBC Microbit. I'm also an author having published my first book on Amazon Kindle at: 'https://www.amazon.com/Give-Yourself-Super-Powers-CoolTinkerMan-ebook/dp/B07PS7F5NZ' target='_blank'>https://www.amazon.com/Give-Yourself-Super-Powers-CoolTinkerMan-ebook/dp/B07PS7F5NZ In my spare time, I also write articles on my instructables page at: 'https://www.instructables.com/member/andymenon/instructables/' target='_blank'>https://www.instructables.com/member/andymenon/instructables/ My 3D designs and remakes are hosted on Thingiverse at: 'https://www.thingiverse.com/theCoolTinkerMan/' target='_blank'>https://www.thingiverse.com/theCoolTinkerMan/
