Work Experience

Teknosis

Mar 2026 - Present

Design Engineer

  • Engineered functional 3D solid manufacturing assemblies from 2D drawings for CNC machine tool components, including spindle assemblies, tool turrets, lathe chucks, and tailstocks.
  • Conducted Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews and generated CAM toolpaths, aligning components to CNC machining capabilities and reducing production costs.
  • Trained technicians on workflows and programming for legacy CNC equipment, improving production efficiency.

Rivon/Freelance

Jan 2026 - Present

Simulation & Prototyping Engineer

Performed structural validation (FEA) and design optimization for functional 3D printed mechanical components.

Erbey Construction

Aug 2025 - Jan 2026

Project Engineer (Project-Based)

  • Produced 2D fabrication and erection drawings for a 1,000-ton heavy structural steel project using Tekla Structures and AutoCAD, translating structural frameworks into manufacturing instructions.
  • Generated Bills of Materials (BOMs) and technical documentation, cross-referencing structural drawings to ensure material traceability and prevent costly procurement errors.
  • Conducted on-floor quality control inspections of welded steel assemblies, verifying structural tolerances and weld compliance against engineering drawings prior to final site erection.
