Summary

Qualified Petroleum and Mechanical engineering graduate who thoroughly enjoys the facets of engineering, especially modelling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). I have experience in modelling and FEA in designing and testing of products. The use of FEA significantly reduces project time and cost due to virtual prototyping and faster design cycles. The largest project I undertook was on redesigning and testing the whole Blow Out Preventer (BOP) mechanism for offshore oil & gas drilling in order to arrest Effective Compression pipe buckling (buckling induced by internal pressure) which significantly contributed to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
