With a solid foundation in mechanical design, thermodynamics, and manufacturing processes, I have practical experience in mechanical equipment maintenance, data visualization, and statistical modeling.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated excellent teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills. I have a proven ability to apply data-driven solutions to complex engineering challenges.
