Experience

• CAD Designer (Academic Projects) Lagos State University · Internship Apr 2025 – Present 11 mos 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.
