Background

About Nikolai Lapin

Relationship-oriented automation graduate experienced in electromechanical technologies. Committed to team development, life-long learning, and contributing to team success, known for effectively working with cross-functional teams. Since I was a kid, my heart has been torn between two passions: consistent skill learning and engineering. I have always loved working with electrical equipment & creating schematic design projects. I lived for years until I realized… I could achieve great results in this area. Since that realization, I've gained my first full-time work experience by working as a welding technician (a completely new area for me). I was leveraging my previous expertise in welding equipment maintenance / troubleshooting. In addition, I provided a brief explanation of the usage of new industrial welding equipment with specific branding and its functionality requirements. While I did leave my full-time job, I very much enjoyed collaborating with experienced co-workers and clients to learn new skills to achieve my future goals. As part of my journey, I got to expend my Industry 4.0 knowledge. I started my engineering degree program at Seneca College. Studying and working with the relevant automation equipment on the market enhanced me look at the industry from a completely new angle. To prove my proficiency as an engineer, me and my partner developed & presented the final graduation project in-front of the Industry 4.0 community. Effective collaboration and teamwork with professors and other students helped us achieve all the goals we had. As a result, we earned the SEMET Technical Award in recognition of outstanding achievements. Since I graduated from college, my primary focus has been on ongoing professional development to bring a positive return to my future company. When I'm not hard at work, I am probably watching soccer. I'm a renowned Liverpool Fan, but I will watch and talk about literally any EPL game /storyline. Outside of being a Liverpool nerd, I also enjoy taking swordsmanship Kenjutsu classes, weightlifting, and playing basketball.
