About

I’m an ambitious Mechanical and Industrial Engineering student at the University of Leeds, passionate about simulation-driven design, process automation, and renewable energy systems. My journey spans hands-on design, data-driven analysis, and test automation from building robotic systems and optimizing thermal-fluid structures to developing test software for RF components at Smiths Interconnect Dundee. I thrive at the intersection of mechanical systems, electronics, and software, where creative design meets rigorous engineering. Skilled in Python, C++, ANSYS, SolidWorks, and CAD-driven simulation, I enjoy solving complex problems through curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. I’m now focused on exploring high-performance systems, digital manufacturing, and sustainable energy innovations that transform how technology interacts with the physical world. I love collaborating with cross-functional teams to turn insights into robust designs. Currently seeking a summer internship where I can apply my simulation expertise and rapid-learning mindset to mission-critical electronic systems. Let’s connect if you’re looking for an engineer who combines technical rigor with curiosity and a drive to deliver results.
