What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, teamwork, and professional growth.

I am an Electrical Engineering graduate with a robust technical skill set in C++, Python, MATLAB, and SolidWorks. My academic journey at the University of British Columbia has equipped me with the knowledge and practical experience necessary to tackle engineering challenges effectively. I thrive in fast-paced environments, where I can combine my technical problem-solving abilities with strategic decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated leadership and entrepreneurial spirit, notably as an Operations Manager at 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. Here, I honed my skills in project coordination, team management, and operational optimization. My experience in launching a cleaning tool brand through Amazon FBA further showcases my ability to navigate complex business landscapes and drive results.

In addition to my technical and managerial skills, my global travels have enriched my adaptability and resilience. I am eager to apply my diverse experiences and technical expertise to engineering projects that demand precision and innovation.
