What I'm looking for

I seek roles in sustainable energy or engineering teams where I can apply technical design, maintenance and project coordination skills, contribute to renewable projects, and grow in a collaborative, innovation-focused environment.

I am a resourceful Mechanical and Energy Engineering graduate with hands-on experience in maintenance, project coordination, and technical documentation. I deliver quality results on time with minimal supervision and a strong focus on sustainability.

During my studies I designed and validated a hybrid solar-wind charging system for remote areas, applying lifecycle analysis, system integration and compliance validation. I have practical internship experience supporting preventive and predictive maintenance, diagnostics, and efficiency improvements in industrial settings.

I have coordinated conferences and youth-led events, including logistics and communications for an Africa Green Building Summit chapter and a technical engineering conference. I lead student organizations, managing teams, workshops, outreach programs and leadership training initiatives.

I bring technical skills in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, MATLAB, Python and Microsoft Excel, combined with strengths in stakeholder engagement, research and data analysis, and online event coordination. I seek roles that value innovation, sustainability and collaborative problem-solving.
