Paul Pabustan

I am a 3rd-year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Santo Tomas, ranked 8th in my program with a GWA of 1.511 and a consistent Dean's Lister. My interests lie in HVAC systems, pump systems, and power plants, and I have built hands-on analytical experience through two research projects where I led full study design, data analysis, and formal presentations. Proficient in Microsoft Office and familiar with AutoCAD and Fusion 360, I actively supplement my studies through industry seminars including the PSME National Convention and the HATS HVAC&R Academic Technical Seminar.

I am currently seeking an internship where I can apply my engineering foundation and contribute to real-world operations.
