I help develop radiation therapy machines ( machines that shoot radiation to treat cancer)
we have to also take X-ray images to see the cancer location inside the body to the high energy radiation can be delivered to exactly the location of the cancer.
Travel to lot of sites with the radiation therapy machines called linear accelerator to test if the new developed technology is working good.

Most of my work happens at home . I help develop these machines . I write the workflow of how the machine should work. Then I give this to the engineers and they built the machine . Once the machine is built I then travel to the test facility and test the machine to make sure it functioning well.Â
I also help support the customers who have bought these machines by helping them solve problems that arise in their machines and softwares.
