About me
I am a mechanical engineer with over 5 years of diverse experience in mechanical design, project management, and technical support. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Memorial University of Newfoundland and a Diploma in Software Engineering technician from Centennial College, along with trainings in Process Piping Design (ASME B31.3) and Project Management.
My skill set includes mechanical equipment sizing, cost estimation, technical documentation, and CAD modeling with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Inventor. I’ve successfully led projects from initial phase to completion at Fil-Trek Corporation, Ambhulo Fabricators Ltd, and E.I Williams Industries, ensuring technical accuracy, budget efficiency, and on-time delivery. I possess good understanding of industry standards such as ASME, NACE, ASTM, and API. I combine technical expertise with strategic project coordination to deliver innovative, cost-effective engineering solutions.
