What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a mechanical engineer graduated from UBCO, driven by a passion for innovation and excellence in my field. My educational journey has been marked by leadership roles, including serving as the School President and Captain of the Robotics team, which honed my teamwork and organizational skills. I thrive in challenging environments and am committed to delivering high-quality results under pressure.

In my professional experience, I have worked as a Hazardous Material Technician at Apex EHS Services, where I conducted surveys and inspections, ensuring safety and compliance. My role as a Technical Support Engineer at SKYTRAC Systems Ltd. allowed me to develop strong communication and problem-solving skills while providing exceptional customer support. I am eager to leverage my technical expertise and leadership abilities to drive success in future projects.
