What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles in power generation or manufacturing where I can apply hands-on maintenance and design skills, contribute to sustainable energy projects, and grow in technical leadership within collaborative teams.

I am a Mechanical Engineer with hands-on experience in thermal power plant maintenance and polyester production, supported by a strong academic record from NUST. I have practical exposure to steam turbines, boilers, cooling towers, compressors, gas turbines, HFO engines, and utility systems.

I led multidisciplinary teams on projects and large student events — notably as Vice President Outreach for EFx 1.0 and Vice Chair of ASME NUST Chapter — raising significant sponsorships and increasing participation. I co-led the design and fabrication of an off-road 2WD vehicle that placed 3rd nationally and secured external grants and scholarships.

I am motivated by sustainable energy solutions and industry-academic collaboration, with experience advocating for SDG 7 and organizing awareness programs. I bring technical CAD/CAE skills, maintenance knowledge, and leadership that drive successful project delivery and operational improvements.
