I am a young Mechanical Engineer with a passion for engineering design. Through a number of academic and personal design projects, I have gained and applied good technical experience in areas such as mechanism design, systems engineering, control systems, engineering management, product design, mechatronic design, and environmental engineering. I am excited to use the knowledge that I have gained in solving real-world problems. Although I design medical devices for the growing South African healthcare sector, I wish to improve the skills that I don't use as much in this profession. This means staying sharp with tools such as CAD (Autodesk Inventor), Scientific Computing (Matlab & Python), and Design for Additive Manufacturing (Inventor & Cura)
