About

I hold National Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from Central University of Technology (2014) and Bachelor of Technology with the University of South Africa (2020). I worked as an Apprentice Fitter and Turner in a Steel Manufacturing Company for 2+ years. Then moved to a Consulting Company where I work as a Junior Engineer for 6+ years. I am now working as a Mechanical Draughtsman with MV Switchgear manufacturer starting June 2022.

I am always learning on the job and spend my free time on projects that earn me new skills. I am interested in projects that involve but not limited to Mechanical Design, CAD draughting, Finite Element Analysis, Structural Design, Scripting and Automation
