About
I am a young, dynamic engineer with a Bachelors of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering. I am currently undergoing my graduate degree in Subsea Engineering at the University of Houston in Houston, Texas. I have always wanted to be an engineer right from when I could pronounce the word. I have strong analytical skills which help me in my day-to-day designs and engineering work.
As a focused and inspired individual, I aim to positively utilize my skills, knowledge and talents through hard-work to attain the set goals in any goal oriented enterprise I find myself in. I have taken up internships in different positions and in different companies which have invested in me both advanced engineering skills and inter-personal skills. I am very much detail oriented and I have a flair to always learn more everyday.
For a very long time, I have always enjoyed helping others and I have joined different voluntary organisations over the past few years. Also, whilst in college and now in graduate school, I currently tutor my peers and fellow classmates and also mentor fresh-men in the faculty of Engineering. I believe there is always something to learn from another person and so I enjoy working in teams and I am a very good team player.
