About Me

My passion for engineering is matched by my proven ability to lead teams and solve complex problems in high-pressure environments. I've developed strong problem-solving skills, leadership capabilities, and the ability to work effectively in teams through extensive experience in management roles and hands-on construction work.

My background in both theoretical engineering principles and practical construction experience gives me a unique perspective on the field, allowing me to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world application.

Construction Worker

Local Building Firm, Ibuilds

I spent three summer breaks working at a small, local building firm. This provided hands-on experience in construction, helping solve issues on site, double-checking soil shear strength parameters using in-situ testing, and working in tight time periods with minimal waste of resources. We worked while being unable to adjust timelines, requiring excellent problem-solving and adaptability.
