Summary
As a motivated mechanical engineering graduate, I have gained practical experience in security operations, customer service, and administrative support. I possess skills in technical problem-solving, communication, and IT support, and I have a strong ability to adapt to various engineering, operational, and customer-facing environments. I am proficient in CAD, SOLIDWORKS, MATLAB, and mathematical modelling. I led a team to design a functional line launcher mechanism, and in my master’s programme, I contributed to an interactive smart bike project by designing the electronic system using an Arduino Uno, a force-sensitive resistor, LEDs, and cloud-based monitoring. I love football and any team sports, as I work well in a team and enjoy outdoor activities.
