What I'm looking for

I seek product or design roles that leverage my materials engineering background and UX skills, offering collaborative teams, impact-driven healthcare or technical products, opportunities for growth, and responsibility for end-to-end product design and research.

I am a metallurgical and materials engineering graduate with hands-on experience in mineral processing techniques, ore analysis (XRF, XRD, SEM-EDX, petrology) and industrial training in CNC and fabrication. I pair technical materials knowledge with practical shop experience from internships at Zuki Metal Works and John Kollyns Technical Institute.

As a UI/UX and product designer, I have collaborated on mobile and web projects including the KodeCamp Academy app, a food-recipe interface on Upwork, and the My Health Integral (MHI) healthcare product, contributing to UX research, prototyping, and high-fidelity designs. I have formal coursework and certifications in UX research, UI/UX master classes, website design, and WordPress.

I bring analytical thinking, creativity, strong communication, and cross-functional collaboration to roles that bridge engineering and product design, with a track record of delivering usable designs and practical engineering solutions that serve user and business needs.
