James Oyekola

Hello, I'm James, a 25-year-old student at Concordia University in Montreal who is presently pursuing an M.Eng. in mechanical engineering. Through internships and a service year in the solar energy, cement, and aluminum industries, I have practical expertise with equipment maintenance, installation, and troubleshooting.

I enjoy using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ANSYS, and Python to solve practical engineering issues, such as computer vision prototypes and FEA simulations. Through my graduate courses, I'm currently honing my skills in nondestructive testing and vibration analysis.

I'm a quick learner who does best in hands-on settings, and I'm searching for a student job where I can contribute and continue to develop.
