  Deakin University

  Mar 2021 - Nov 2021

  Graduate Engineer (Industrial Project)

  At Deakin University, I led the creation of an advanced testing device for cathodic disbondment, using SolidWorks and Fusion 360 to design an apparatus that consistently maintains electrolyte levels at 100°C for extended periods. By applying principles of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, I optimized testing conditions and ensured accurate material analysis and budget management. My role also included coordinating project documentation with industry standards and monitoring progress through detailed reporting, all while promoting teamwork to enhance pipeline testing efficiency.

  Mechanical Engineer

  In my roles at Derwent Industries, I spearhead the design of ground-engaging tools with AutoCAD Inventor and SolidWorks, focusing on precise dimensions and efficient casting through advanced pattern techniques. My responsibilities include overseeing project timelines with MS Project, improving product durability with casting simulations, and working closely with manufacturing teams to refine moulding processes and tooling. I maintain high-quality standards with 3D scanning and PolyWorks, drive ongoing enhancements by incorporating feedback, and manage project deliverables to ensure successful, timely, and budget-compliant outcomes.
