• I played a crucial role in overseeing and managing various aspects of construction projects
• My responsibilities included project planning, design coordination, and ensuring the efficient execution of construction tasks
• I collaborated closely with architects, structural engineers, and construction teams to ensure that projects were completed successfully, on time, and within budget
• My experience in the prefabricated building area involved working with prefabricated and modular construction techniques, which required meticulous planning and coordination to ensure seamless assembly and integration on-site
• Overall, my role as a civil engineer in the prefabricated building sector contributed to the timely and efficient completion of construction projects, ultimately resulting in safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing structures
• I worked in the industrial zone located in the area where I worked, and I was involved in the construction of the buildings of the factories in this area
• I worked as a site engineer
• The construction of these factories includes all stages of construction, including raft foundation, as well as column and beam assembly.

• TIW Company, where I work for a short term, is a prestigious construction company where I had the opportunity to gain experience in the field of light steel structures
• During this period, I contributed to the design, engineering calculations, and construction processes of light steel structures
• I took part in the design of light steel structures in company projects
• I performed structural analyzes using SAP2000 and integrated these analysis results into the design processes
• I contributed to the selection of suitable materials for light steel structures
• I carried out the necessary engineering calculations for the durability and safety of the structures.

In this report I behaved as an energy consultant and I have been asked to provide a full assessment for a case study scenario to work on. The scenario involved a stakeholder who is interested in developing a sustainable energy system. I identified the building fabric/construction (wall, floor, ceiling, roof, partition, glazing) and current condition/issues of the building. I did assessment of the heating, ventilation, lighting systems. I assessed the building location and external shading/buildings around. I did some analysis for energy and thermal performance of the building such as energy benchmarks/building regulations. I did carbon assessment of the building. I gave some recommendations to improve the energy performance and thermal condition of the building. I did calculation on the recommended low carbon and clean technologies in term of the system size, saving and payback period. This was the main factor in determining the thesis topic of my study. The work I have done has given me knowledge in this field, increased my self-confidence and improved my problem-solving skills. I got first class grade from this report.

In this assignment I developed of a finite element model for a three storied laboratory shear frame. The structure is supported by aluminium bars fixed at four corners of each floor. I used Abaqus finite elements analysis software programme for completing Linear buckling analysis, Nonlinear static analysis and I did conclusions and future recommendations. This report enabled me to learn the finite element program and increased my knowledge and experience in finite element analysis. I have got first class grade from this report.

In this preliminary design report I made in the sustainable infrastructure course, I designed a concrete wastewater chlorination tank reinforced with CFRP bars and made of material containing self-healing bacteria. This wastewater chlorination tank was designed using Bacteria-based Self-healing Material to eliminate cracks that occur over time and provide less maintenance and repair costs. The water tank was designed for the Festival Garden District housing project in Liverpool and has a capacity to meet the wastewater needs of approximately 8000 households. I compared my design with other options available, I explained why the technology/strategy chosen is more sustainable based on the sustainability criteria. This work provided me to develop my skills at literature review and critical evaluation, as well as developing my understanding of recent developments in sustainable infrastructure. I have got first class grade from this preliminary design report.

I have worked as a mentor with Year 10 students who study for GCSE since February 2024. I have helped them with maths. This programme runs by Liverpool John Moores University.

I have worked as a student advocate at University since November 2023. I lead campus tour to guests and I deliver student life talks.

I have worked at the Peacock bar in Liverpool as a bar back/glass collector since October 2023 as a part time job. I serve customers drinks. I did ensuring that the bar is well-stocked with clean glasses, napkins, straws, and other necessary supplies throughout the shift, providing excellent customer service by promptly clearing tables, assisting customers with inquiries, and maintaining a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, adhering to health and safety regulations, including proper handling of glassware, cleaning chemicals, and equipment to maintain a safe working environment.

I have worked at The Studio School Liverpool as an exam invigilator. I verified the identity of each student by checking their identification documents, I Provide clear instructions to students before the start of the exam, I vigilantly observing students during the exam to ensure compliance with exam rules and prevent cheating or academic misconduct. I ensured the security and confidentiality of exam materials before, during, and after the examination.
