Duncan du Buisson

I am an enthusiastic, target driven 4th year mechanical engineering student with work experience in mechanical design and machining. I have a clear, logical mind and passion for people and mechanics.

I am seeking to obtain work experience before I complete my final year of engineering within the next 2 years.

Before pursuing engineering, I qualified for Medicine at the University of Pretoria. I have gained 40 hours of experience within emergency, pediatric and geriatric units. I have also worked as an engineering assistant and service ambassador.

I enjoy research, travelling and my newly accquired hobby - golfing.
