CAREER SUMMARY:
A dedicated and results-oriented Mechanical Engineer with extensive experience in the design, inspection, and quality assurance of industrial systems, specializing in piping networks and storage tanks for large-scale refinery rehabilitation and development projects. I possess a robust technical foundation in applying international standards, including API 650 and ASME, to ensure full regulatory compliance, design integrity, and safety from initial concept through to final execution and commissioning. My professional background encompasses a comprehensive range of responsibilities, from creating precise technical drawings with AutoCAD and performing rigorous material inspections to compiling detailed QA/QC documentation and weld summaries. I have a proven ability to bridge the gap between design engineering and on- site fabrication, effectively collaborating with multidisciplinary teams of engineers, technicians, and clients to solve complex technical challenges. I am recognised for my meticulous attention to detail, strong analytical skills, and commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes within demanding project timelines. Certified in HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) Levels 1, 2, and 3, I am deeply committed to upholding the highest safety standards in all project phases. To complement my hands-on engineering expertise, I am actively developing skills in Python and data analysis, reflecting my strong dedication to continuous learning and professional growth. I am now seeking to channel my practical experience and emerging computational skills into advanced fields such as smart manufacturing, mechatronics, and automated industrial systems, where I can contribute to innovative and efficient engineering solutions.
