About

I am an MSc Electrical & Electronics Engineering candidate and BEng graduate with strong technical foundations in circuit design, power systems, renewable energy systems, and electrical infrastructure.I hold the 18th Edition (BS 7671) qualification, enabling me to work safely and competently within UK electrical regulations and site environments. With over 4 years of hands-on experience in solar PV installation, wiring, testing, and electrical maintenance, I have delivered reliable off-grid and hybrid energy solutions across residential and commercial projects. My practical experience bridges technical design with real-world implementation. I am proficient in AutoCAD, MATLAB, and Microsoft Office, with applied knowledge in PV system sizing, electrical design, and system optimisation. My interests lie in scalable energy systems, electrification, and sustainable infrastructure development. I am committed to technical excellence, regulatory compliance, and continuous professional growth while completing my MSc.Open to part-time engineering opportunities (up to 20 hours per week) where I can contribute technical value while continuing to develop within the UK energy and infrastructure sector.
