• Managed 20+ high value industrial equipment projects (USD 50 million+), delivering on scope, budget, and schedule while focusing on client relationships.
• Identified and neutralised project vulnerabilities, reducing potential delays by 30%.
• Implemented Python scripts leveraging the Clockify API and ADP timesheets, optimising workflows and reducing administrative manhours by 90%.
• Collaborated with 10+ colleagues to implement a new installation safety program; developed training materials for 200+ resources on site and ensured compliance.
• Produced technical specifications, plans, procedures, and equipment design documentation.

• Built sensor housing modules using CAD for UWB sensor development boards; logged tracking data with Python and MATLAB.
• Developed the prototype further through the UBC Applied Science Summer Entrepreneurship program; secured 8,000 CAD in funding at Qatar Business Incubation Centre.

• Created a 3 input NAND gate layout using Cadence Virtuoso on a 45nm CMOS technology node; verified logical correctness through simulation.
• Performed DRC and LVS verification; analysed parasitic capacitance and resistance through post layout extraction for delay and power estimation.

• Founded UBC ThunderBikes, a 20+ student engineering team building electric motorcycles for the Formula Lightning competition.
• Converted 2 standard bicycles to electric powered prototypes; oversaw safety protocols and conducted tool training for over 20 team members.
• Led recruitment and interviewed 15+ candidates to expand the multidisciplinary team.

• Designed a 0.2mm × 0.2mm microelectronic gyroscope (Solidworks); modelled electrical to mechanical domain coupling (Simscape and Simulink) before fabrication.
• Completed schematic capture (Cadence), generated fabrication mask layouts (Clewin) for the SOI MUMPS process, and performed FEA on the silicon structure.

• Collaborated in a 4 person team to design and fabricate landing gear for a competition grade aircraft; engineered a new suspension system for increased payload capacity.
• Built a custom test rig to simulate landing impacts; achieved 3rd place overall at the SAE Aero Design 2020 competition.
