A procurement professional while being an engineer at heart, I bring the best of both worlds in technical knowledge and consulting. With both engineering and commercial experience across automotive, space, renewables, and business consulting - I have proven versatility and transferrable skills to adapt to a new challenge.My key strengths lie in the following areas: • Computer-Aided Design and Finite Element Anaylsis of designed parts, particularly in the context of drivetrain systems and satellite deployer system. Experienced with concept visualisation and rapid prototyping (3D printing)• Hands-on experience with complete product evolution - from design, manufacturing, testing, and validation. Knowledge of diverse manufacturing processes, along with practical experience with design of precision components and manufacturing composite parts. • Material analysis of metals, composites, and polymers, and associated research skills. • Technical documentation for engineering-based competitions, proposals, and audit reports presented to top management. • Data analysis and visualisation skills with an eye for detail to spot trends and deviations. • Practical application of experience and learning - suggesting process improvements in production lead time, production effectiveness, repetitive breakdowns, and supply chain optimisation through risk-based process audits of plant operations and supply chain processes in the Automobile and Chemical sectors. • Knowledge of procurement processes and sourcing of parts, along with managing vendor and client relationships. • Leadership and Team Management through Formula Student. • Collaborative skills with cross-functional teams and personal leadership skills recognised through company reward programs. My software knowledge includes: • Solidworks (CSWA), ANSYS, Autodesk Inventor• Advanced Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. • Power BI• Simul8• Microsoft Planner
