What I'm looking for

I’m seeking CAD or mechanical design roles with collaborative teams, challenging projects, hands-on drafting/modeling work, mentorship, and opportunities to grow technical and project-management skills.

I am a proactive mechanical engineer and CAD designer who believes in the transformative power of innovation.

I specialize in 2D and 3D CAD, producing technical drawings and product models using tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, SketchUp, and Onshape while meeting tight deadlines and quality standards.

I have applied my skills across engineering, manufacturing, and aviation projects through internships and freelance engagements, collaborating with clients and senior engineers to refine requirements and ensure compliance.

I have led procurement and finance functions in student competitions and organizations, managing budgets and cross-functional teams, and I seek opportunities that combine hands-on design work, teamwork, and continuous professional growth.
