As a Graduate Mechanical Engineer at Wood PLC in the Operations P&E team, I support the delivery of engineering solutions across various projects. My role involves managing engineering packages, ensuring technical specifications, timelines, and quality standards are met. I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and focus on developing my skills and knowledge as I work towards achieving chartership. This position offers invaluable hands-on experience in mechanical engineering, helping me grow both professionally and technically.

As a Design Consultant Intern, I am thrilled to have embarked on an exciting journey within the field of body-powered prosthetics. In my current role, I am working closely with a dynamic team, utilising my design expertise to contribute to the development and manufacturing of cutting-edge components for prosthetic hands.Throughout my internship, my primary responsibility is to provide design consultation and support for the manufacturing process. This includes collaborating with the design team to develop innovative and functional components, ensuring they align with industry standards and best practices. Using my proficiency in CAD software, I create detailed 3D models and technical drawings, optimizing them for seamless integration with the manufacturing processes.In addition to design responsibilities, I actively contribute to enhancing the company's digital presence and outreach efforts. By assisting in social media content creation, I help create engaging visuals, videos, and written content to promote the company's products and services. Through strategic planning and execution, I contribute to expanding the company's awareness and reach among potential customers.Key Technical Skills:Proficiency in CAD software (such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD) for 3D modeling and technical drawings.Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, materials, and quality control.Knowledge of prosthetic hand design principles and best practices.Key Personal Skills:Creative mindset with a keen eye for design aesthetics.Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.Effective communication skills, both written and verbal.Ability to collaborate within cross-functional teams.Excellent organisational and time management skills.

As a Mechanical Engineer at Louisiana State University (LSU), I served as the lead mechanical engineer for the "Art-eaux-matic" capstone project. This project aimed to redesign an assistive painting device for a young client with cerebral palsy, allowing them to create art using their eye and head movements.Working within a cross-functional team of four, I was responsible for the mechanical aspects of the project. My main task was to design a gantry system integrated with a collapsible easel board. This gantry system facilitated precise brush movement on the canvas, enabling the user to paint with their eye and head movements. Notably, we developed an adjustable brush end actuator for dynamic brush rotation in all directions.We prioritised creating a lightweight and portable mechanical system, making it easy for caregivers to handle. Sustainability was a core consideration, leading us to repurpose components, use recycled materials, and conduct in-house remanufacturing.To ensure the mechanical system's integrity, I conducted extensive analyses using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and analytical calculations. We also performed rigorous testing to confirm alignment, functionality, and safety. For intricate components, such as the brush end actuator, we employed 3D printing technology.My role as the lead mechanical engineer in the "Art-eaux-matic" project was a rewarding experience. I contributed to the development of an innovative assistive painting device, making a real difference in the life of a young artist with special needs, all while gaining valuable insights into mechanical engineering, design, sustainability, and teamwork.
