I am an adaptive and confident Mechanical Design Engineer with over five years of experience in the engineering sector, particularly in Thermal Hazard Technology. My journey began with a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Birmingham City University, where I graduated with a 2:1 classification. I have honed my skills in CAD and FEA, contributing to engineering research and design projects that have significantly improved operational efficiency.
In my previous role, I excelled as a Mechanical Design Engineer, where I was responsible for building and maintaining calorimeters, as well as managing engineering projects.
