About
Mechanical Engineer with an MSc in Mechanical Engineering from Northumbria University and practical experience in mechanical design, reverse engineering and manufacturing support. During my internship at Nick Young Tractor Parts Ltd, I worked on reverse engineering projects using SolidWorks to recreate obsolete tractor components and support manufacturing activities. Prior to my postgraduate studies, I spent over four years at Amazon in a quality-focused role where I analysed operational problems, improved business processes and worked with cross-functional teams to deliver measurable improvements.
This experience strengthened my analytical thinking, attention to detail and problem-solving skills, which I now apply to engineering challenges. I enjoy designing practical engineering solutions, learning new technologies and working as part of collaborative engineering teams. I am looking for an opportunity where I can continue developing my design and manufacturing experience while contributing to a forward-thinking organisation.
