- Played a pivotal role in the commissioning team for a greenfield refinery's Delayed Coker Unit, reviewing 200+ P&IDs for commissioning readiness. - Coordinated pre-commissioning activities across 25 units, including chemical cleaning and passivation of critical pipelines. - Received training on the fundamental operations of the Contracts Team within the Oil, Gas, and Hydrocarbon sector.

- Enhanced barrier properties of cellulose-based composites for packaging, achieving a 50% improvement in oxygen permeability compared to the base polymer. - Demonstrated a 62.78% enhancement in oxygen barrier properties by integrating 25% cellulose into PVDF composites, and a similar enhancement with 50% cellulose integration. - Contributed to the understanding of thermomechanical property improvements in cellulose-PVDF composites, providing data-driven insights for material selection in packaging applications.

- Responsible for preliminary mechanical design of the fourth iteration of an autonomous underwater vehicle using knowledge of basic mechanics, manufacturability and hydrodynamics

- Characterized a gluten-based composite, increasing moisture retention capacity from 12% w/w to 25% w/w, to enhance consumer product performance. - Integrated the composite into a consumer product, achieving enhanced crack resistance at elevated moisture levels (100%) while preserving the inherent structure. - Evaluated composite-enhanced product performance, confirming retention of most properties with significant improvements in specific areas such as moisture and crack resistance.
