Mechanical Engineer turning process expertise into data-driven optimization for industry.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineer with a strong background in process design, system optimization, and project execution, now seeking to leverage my expertise in data analysis. I’m passionate about optimizing industrial processes through data-driven insights, combining mechanical fundamentals with modern analytics.
In my current role as a Sales Engineer at Davis and Shirtliff, I design and deliver technical water and energy systems customized to client requirements, and support monthly reporting, inventory management, and product performance documentation. I also engage in the specification and integration of sensors, pressure gauges, and flow meters, and draft technical and financial proposals for tender evaluations.
Previously at KenGen Public Ltd Co., I supported process optimization and troubleshooting of cooling towers, turbines, and condensers to enhance system efficiency, while conducting fluid dynamics analysis on heat exchangers. I developed process flow documentation for maintenance procedures and gained hands-on experience in piping systems, pressure regulation, and process safety, backed by my ANSYS/solid modeling and simulation projects.
