What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role where I can teach and apply mechanical and automotive skills, work with CNC/fabrication equipment, and contribute to curriculum and practical training.

I am a Mechanical Engineering graduate and experienced trainer who teaches automotive systems, welding, and 2D/3D CAD (AutoCAD), with hands-on fabrication experience. I combine classroom instruction with practical workshop supervision to help students master mechanical systems and fabrication techniques.

In industry roles I diagnosed and repaired complex vehicle issues using OBD-II scanners and oscilloscopes, and I collaborated with technicians to deliver reliable repairs and improvements. I have designed and fabricated cost-effective machinery, including a wood splitting machine where I led software design and material selection.

I am proficient operating lathes, milling machines, CNC equipment, and drilling machines, and I bring strong problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills. I am motivated to contribute to an innovative institution focused on practical skills development and continuous improvement.
