An eager mechanical design engineer, I relish the challenge of providing tailored solutions to complex problems. Since graduating from my B.Eng. in Manufacturing Engineering with Business Studies in 2016, I have worked with multiple engineering firms both at home and abroad, broadening my skillset and developing my expertise in the areas of Mechanical Design, Product Development, 3D Scanning and CAD. I have worked on projects across a variety of industries, which include Aviation (AIM Altitude), Marine (Babcock), Agricultural (Distag, Morris Manufacturing), Pharmaceutical (Premech Engineering), Consultancy (Caliber Design), among other sectors in the industry.In the span of my career I have also endeavored to expand my skillset by earning an MSc in Aginnovation and Entrepreneurship from the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) in 2021. This has given me the knowledge base to not only develop products from scratch, but also develop businesses as a whole.
