I am a Manufacturing Engineering Technologist, SolidWorks enthusiast, and aspiring innovator in the realm of product design. Soon to graduate from McMaster University with a Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering Technology, I am driven by a passion for optimizing processes and fostering innovation within the manufacturing sector

I like to tinker with 3D modeling of enclosures for IMUs, hanging headphone stands, wall mounts for Google Home minis, etc. Above all I am passionate about learning new engineering skills. I am strongly self-motivated to learn or teach myself the skills needed for personal and professional projects, and I especially enjoy ambitious projects with a competitive goal.

Here are a couple of my projects:

I am a Manufacturing Engineer and Mechanical Designer with a strong foundation in CAD software, including SolidWorks and AutoCAD, for designing mechanical components and technical drawings. My experience in manufacturing engineering includes applying lean principles, understanding material science, and operating CNC machines to achieve precise results.

I have practical skills in DFMA, GD&T, and FEA, which help me design and analyze products for manufacturability and performance. I also focus on process optimization and PLM to improve manufacturing efficiency and product lifecycle management. Additionally, I am capable of managing projects from prototyping to completion and have a good understanding of automation systems to enhance production efficiency.

With certifications in CSWA, CSWP, and Lean Six Sigma, I am committed to problem-solving, developing efficient processes, and adapting to fast-paced manufacturing environments.
