Summary
Engineering student with experience in Revit (BIM), AutoCAD, MATLAB and Excel, alongside strong CAD modelling and technical problem-solving skills. I enjoy applying practical engineering solutions, working collaboratively, and learning through real-world experience. I am taking a temporary pause from full-time study to pursue a practical engineering role while completing my degree part-time, allowing me to develop my industry experience alongside my academic studies.
