I recently relocated from South Africa to the Netherlands to further develop my engineering skills and gain exposure to how a first-world country approaches engineering. This move reflects my strong work ethic, adaptability, and commitment to professional growth. I combine analytical thinking with hands-on manufacturing experience to deliver high-performance, cost-effective solutions that meet demanding technical requirements and tight deadlines.
With over six years of postgraduate experience in mechanical design, research, and project management, I have contributed to complex engineering projects across the mining, aerospace, renewable energy, and petrochemical sectors. I bring a hands-on, solutions-driven mindset, combining deep technical expertise with creativity and precision in FEA, structural optimization, concept development, prototyping, and experimental testing.
Recently, I earned my Master of Engineering degree with distinction, balancing the rigorous demands of my professional roles at two companies. This achievement reflects my deep passion for mechanical engineering and my commitment to solving complex problems every day.
I am driven by a strong desire to continuously learn and expand my skill set. My problem-solving abilities are a key strength, and I always aim to present well-thought-out solutions that foster productive discussions. I am self-motivated, take initiative, and pride myself on being extremely hardworking. As a logical thinker, I plan meticulously to meet all deadlines and ensure that my work is of the highest quality.
I thrive both in team environments, where I can learn from like-minded professionals, and when working independently. My decisions are grounded in logic and facts, while also considering the emotional aspects of teamwork. I am confident that my strong work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to provide cost-effective solutions will make me an immediate asset to any team.
