• Served as a graduate lab assistant teaching junior- and senior-level mechanical engineering labs to undergraduate students.• Served as the chair for technical writing and teamwork improvement committee.• Developed documentation for use in the senior year mechanical engineering lab to serve as guidelines and improve team collaboration and technical writing skills amongst undergraduate students.

• Assisted in maintenance of heavy machinery involved in the production of plastic carry bags of varying capacity.• Standardized and modified the production line by collaborating with a team that consisted of technicians and a senior engineer.• Enhanced the production efficiency by 20% by planning regular maintenance of the machinery, automating the process of filtering raw material (recycled) at the initial stage, and conducting preventive maintenance on critical parts of the machinery.• Provided a summary of the causes of the breakdowns/failures, and the remedial measures used to rectify them were documented, which would be utilized in undertaking preventive maintenance of the machinery.
