I believe, my ability to think out of the box enables me to challenge myself, and the most fundamental concepts. My experience in benchmarking prevalent analysis tools (Ansys / Nastran) by coding in MATLAB ensures my analysis is not constrained by commercial analysis tools. I’m confident that my skills and passion for industry are a perfect match to the company looking for a motivating Designer. I hold a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from University of Sydney and have worked as Senior Design Engineer for Larsen & Toubro's Technology Development Centre that caters to the conglomerate's Aerospace division. After which, I worked as a design and development engineer for Bauer GMBH. I look forward for an opportunity to work on projects where I can improve my skills and strengths with the accomplishment of the clients goals and objective.
