What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level mechanical engineering role focused on mechanical design or thermofluids where I can apply SolidWorks and C++ skills, grow technically, and contribute within a collaborative, learning-focused team.

I am a disciplined and hardworking BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering graduate with majors in Mechanical Design and Fluid Dynamics and Thermofluids, eager to turn academic theory into practical engineering solutions.

I have tutoring experience in mathematics, physical science and graphical communication, and practical exposure to SolidWorks and C++ which complement my analytical and problem-solving strengths.

I contributed to student chapters (ECSA and SAIMechE), passed a SolidWorks CAD exam, and seek to join a dynamic team where I can learn, innovate, and deliver engineering value.
