What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, allowing me to apply my engineering skills in impactful projects.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Civil and Structural Engineering at the University of Sheffield, where I am on track to graduate with a first-class degree. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in engineering principles, mathematics, and computer science, which I have applied in various projects and research initiatives.

Throughout my studies, I have gained hands-on experience with industry-standard software such as AutoCAD, Revit, and Tekla Tedds. My involvement in projects like the Integrated Design Project and the Global Engineering Challenge has not only honed my technical skills but also enhanced my ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams. I am passionate about applying innovative engineering solutions to real-world challenges.
