Proven ability to assist with design, geotechnical investigation, Structural design analysis, and document control. Committed to be part of the high performing teams in achieving the project goals. Demonstrated oral and written communication skills with the ability to convey information in a clear and concise manner and communicate effectively with the team.

Engineering Capstone Project (Independent)

The University of Technology Sydney, NSW

• Conducted an independent environmental engineering capstone project analysing the impact of COVID-19 lockdown measures on urban air quality using time-series air pollution data.
• Assessed variations in key air quality indicators (e.g. PM2.5, NO₂) and correlated trends with traffic reduction and changes in human activity patterns.
• Applied data processing and statistical analysis techniques to support evidence-based conclusions on urban air pollution control and environmental policy implications.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) Project

The University of Melbourne, VIC

• Developed integrated BIM models for MEP systems using Revit and performed clash detection to ensure coordinated, constructible design outcomes.
• Produced detailed quantity take-offs and cost estimations directly from BIM models, improving cost accuracy and reducing manual calculation errors.
• Conducted building energy simulations in Revit to optimise HVAC performance and support sustainable, data-driven design decisions.
