About

As a mechanical engineering student, I’m building a solid foundation in design and engineering principles with a focus on CAD. My hands-on experience includes using software like Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, and Fusion 360, where I’m developing essential skills in 3D modeling, technical drawing, and design optimization. I enjoy applying my coursework to practical projects and learning to bring conceptual designs to life in a digital environment. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for precision, I aim to leverage these skills in a career as a CAD technician, supporting innovative engineering solutions.
