About

I am an Aeronautical Engineering graduate from the Technical University of Kenya with practical skills in SolidWorks 3D modeling, mechanical design, and engineering analysis.

I can help transform sketches, reference images, and concepts into accurate 3D CAD models, assemblies, and engineering drawings. My interests include mechanical components, product enclosures, brackets, mounts, fixtures, and 3D-printable designs.

My engineering background includes a project in which I designed and simulated high-temperature aerospace materials using SolidWorks and ANSYS Fluent. I also have practical experience in aviation maintenance, aircraft component identification, technical documentation, and non-destructive testing.

I value accuracy, clear communication, and functional designs. I am committed to understanding each client's requirements, delivering quality work, and continuously improving my design skills through practical engineering projects.

If you have a product idea, component, or mechanical design that needs to be developed in CAD, I would be glad to help.

Experience

NDT Technician Tailwind Solutions Limited · Full-time Aug 2026 – Oct 2026 2 mos Nairobi, Kenya Worked in an aviation maintenance environment supporting aircraft component inspection, identification, and technical documentation.

- Performed non-destructive testing activities using Penetrant Testing (PT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Eddy Current Testing (ET), and Ultrasonic Testing (UT).
- Worked with aircraft components, technical records, part numbers, serial numbers, and serviceability documentation.
- Supported inspection activities requiring accuracy, attention to detail, and adherence to technical procedures.
- Gained practical familiarity with aircraft component geometry, engineering terminology, and maintenance requirements.

This experience complements my aeronautical engineering background and strengthens my understanding of real-world engineering components and technical requirements.

Other experience

Aerospace CAD Design and Thermal Analysis Project Designed and evaluated zirconium diboride–silicon carbide (ZrB₂–SiC) as a reusable high-temperature thermal protection material for aerospace applications as part of my Bachelor of Engineering final-year project.

- Developed 3D models of different thermal protection material configurations using SolidWorks.
- Used ANSYS Fluent to simulate aerodynamic and thermal conditions at hypersonic speeds.
- Compared candidate material configurations based on their thermal performance under simulated extreme conditions.
- Applied engineering principles involving heat transfer, aerospace materials, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
- Presented simulation-based findings to evaluate the suitability of advanced ceramic composites for high-temperature aerospace applications.

Tools: SolidWorks, ANSYS Fluent.

This project demonstrates my ability to combine 3D CAD modeling with engineering analysis to investigate and evaluate technical design concepts.
