About

Senior Mechanical Engineer with over a decade of expertise in driving operational excellence, strategic maintenance, and leading cross-functional teams to achieve peak performance. My career is dedicated to optimizing complex mechanical systems, enhancing reliability, and reducing downtime.But my journey did not start in a classroom. It started in the workshop.My Experimental Learning JourneyMy hands-on journey began in middle school and continued through my final days at the Faculty of Engineering. I started as a helper, working alongside experienced technicians, until I became a First Mechanic specializing in mechanical maintenance and internal combustion engines of all types and sizes. I learned to diagnose, disassemble, repair, and reassemble engines in real workshop conditions—not just in textbooks.The Most Valuable Skill: Leading PeopleWorking alongside technicians for 11 years, I learned their language, strengths, and frustrations. I learned that a technician responds to respect, practical knowledge, and fair treatment—not titles or commands. I developed the ability to motivate, direct, and earn the trust of technical teams. Today, I do not just manage technicians—I lead them. They follow because they trust my technical judgment and respect how I treat them.My Technical Foundation· Operational Excellence: Reducing downtime, lifecycle cost management, TPM, Lean Maintenance, RCM· Technical Expertise: Mechanical fault diagnosis, hydraulic/pneumatic systems, PLCs (Siemens, Mitsubishi, Delta), drives, sensors, control circuits· Systems & Tools: Technical drawings, SAP/CMMS, Maximo, Primavera P6, MS Project· Safety & Compliance: CMRP & CMRT certified, ISO 55000, NFPA 70E, ASME/ANSI/BSWhere I Am HeadedI bridge robust engineering fundamentals with innovative technologies. I am strategically channeling my experience towards Robotics, AI, CNC Machinery, and Automation. I hold an Associate's degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, and Automation Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and certifications in AI Engineering and Machine Learning from IBM and Stanford.My goal is to implement smart technology strategically for tangible business impact—increasing efficiency, safety, and profitability.I am actively seeking leadership roles at the intersection of operations and advanced technology. Open to connecting.
