About

I am a Final Year Mechanical Engineering student with experience across 10+ academic, industrial, and personal CAD projects.

My work focuses on precise 2D drafting, basic 3D modeling, and converting 2D concepts into structured 3D designs. I have developed models for real-world applications, including a locally built dryer and gas burner during my Industrial Training, a custom table tennis trophy design for my Final Year Project, and various mechanical components such as a fire extinguisher assembly.

I understand the importance of dimensional accuracy and applying appropriate tolerances based on fit, function, and manufacturability requirements.

Certified in AutoCAD (CADD Centre Global), I am committed to delivering reliable, accurate, and well-structured technical drawings. My standard is to deliver work that exceeds expectations and builds long-term professional relationships.

Experience

CAD Designer (Academic Projects) Lagos State University · Internship Apr 2025 – Present 1 yrs Lagos, LA, Nigeria I completed 10+ structured 2D & 3D CAD projects involving mechanical components and assemblies.

I designed and modeled a custom 3D Table Tennis Trophy as part of Final Year Project development.

I developed a detailed 3D fire extinguisher assembly as an early foundational modeling project.

I applied dimensional accuracy and tolerancing principles to ensure functional part relationships.

I have converted 2D technical drawings into organized 3D models for visualization and concept validation.

I completed these designs as part of academic projects, independent learning, and personal CAD practice.
Maintenance Engineering Intern (Industrial Training) Betaglass PLC · Internship Oct 2025 – Nov 2025 1 mos OG, Nigeria I participated in routine and corrective maintenance of mechanical systems including motors, pumps, shafts, bearings, and conveyor assemblies.

I also assisted in equipment disassembly, inspection, and reassembly processes.

I observed component wear patterns and real-world failure modes.

I developed a deep practical understanding of how design decisions influence durability, maintainability, and system performance.

I continued independent CAD skill development alongside maintenance responsibilities.
Mechanical Design Intern (Industrial Training) Hicmann Investments Limited · Internship Jun 2025 – Jul 2025 1 mos Lagos, LA, Nigeria I worked on independently developed 3D CAD models of existing locally fabricated machines, including a dryer and gas burner assembly, to strengthen technical modeling skills.

I also created structured visual representations of mechanical systems for documentation and learning purposes.

I gained practical exposure to fabrication methods, workshop processes, and real-world manufacturing constraints.

I also used the training period to bridge academic knowledge with practical mechanical systems.
Mechanical Systems Intern (SIWES Program) AC & Refrigeration Workshop · Internship Sep 2024 – Nov 2024 2 mos Lagos, LA, Nigeria I assisted in diagnosis and repair of domestic refrigeration systems.

I ensured to observe and support the replacement of compressors, evaporators (surface and conduit types), and related components.

I participated in refrigerant recovery and recharging processes under supervision.

I made sure to gain practical understanding of cooling failures, system pressure considerations, and sealed-system welding procedures.

I developed hands-on appreciation for thermodynamic system behavior and real-world mechanical constraints.

Education

LAGOS STATE UNIVERSITY B.Sc Engineering, MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, null 2022 – 2026 Activities and Societies: Member, Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Member, Nigerian Institution of Mechanical Engineers (NiMechE) Member, Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) Member, American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) University Football Team / Recreational Football Participant, Entrepreneurship Development Program (Soap Production Training) I actively engaged in professional engineering bodies including SPE, ASHRAE, NiMechE, and IMechE, participating in technical discussions and career development activities.

Engaged in university football, promoting teamwork and discipline.

I also completed compulsory entrepreneurship training with hands-on experience in soap production.

I also developed analytical and risk management skills through active participation in financial markets trading.

Other experience

Independent CAD Design Practice I developed and refined CAD design skills through self-directed practice using AutoCAD. I have completed multiple 2D drafting and 3D modeling projects including mechanical components and a table tennis trophy design for a sand casting final year project. I am focused on improving engineering drawing standards, dimensioning, and design accuracy.
