What I'm looking for

I am looking for an engineering role where I can apply mechanical and equipment expertise, grow technically, lead teams, and improve operational reliability within a collaborative environment.

I am a Mechanical Engineer (B.Eng) with hands-on training at Power Equipment and Electrical Machinery Development Institute and industrial placements with the FCT Water Board and NASENI. I bring practical experience in technical assistance, equipment maintenance, and applied mechanical systems.

I have taught Islamic and Arabic while providing administrative support, demonstrating adaptability, communication skills, and the ability to lead small technical teams to meet deadlines and solve emergency issues. I am proficient with SolidWorks, MS Office suite, and familiar with budgeting and cost control.

I seek to contribute to an engineering team where I can apply technical expertise, support operational improvements, and help deliver measurable service quality gains for the organization.
