What I'm looking for

I'm looking to help clients reach their nutrition and strength goals through personalized, data-informed programs that account for their preferences, injuries, and health needs.

I run Built By Balance Coaching, where I create personalized nutrition plans and strength programs tailored to clients’ goals, preferences, injuries, and health needs.

My work is grounded in consistent client communication, analyzing data and needs to design practical programs that support sustainable progress. I hold certifications in personal training and exercise nutrition.

Earlier, I supported mechanical operations at NBM Railways and developed control-system drawings, flow diagrams, schedules, and DCC system architecture at Controls & Equipment. I bring a Mechanical Engineering Technology background, AutoCAD and SolidWorks skills, and applied research experience redesigning and analyzing costs for a railway heating system.
