Personal Statement
I am a mechanical Engineer with strong passion for R&D, FEA, numerical methods, and project management. I have a solid command in CAD, FEA, programming languages and very proficient in linking various databases between programming languages and FEA software in order to increase efficiency, deliver on time and make the impossible happen. I am a result-oriented team-player with strong work ethic, and ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
