What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my mechanical engineering knowledge and machine-operation experience in a professional environment that values creativity, intellectual curiosity, problem-solving, and hands-on engineering work.

I've operated LYISH tissue rewinder machines at Kimfay East Africa, setting machines for different products, completing autonomous maintenance, 6K routines, and safety and hygiene compliance procedures.

At Gahir Engineering Works and Thika Engineering Works, I operated lathe and milling machines, performed maintenance, interpreted blueprints, selected machining parameters, and completed turning, facing, grooving, drilling, boring, and fabrication work.

I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering from Murang'a University of Technology and enjoy designing new projects, solving puzzles, and attending engineering seminars.
