A self- motivated, metallurgical engineer with a strong willingness to learn and has GRIT. I am dedicated, and open-minded, interact well with people and adjust to changes with ease. I enjoy spending time in nature, hiking/camping and trying new things. Have been exposed in a manufacturing environment for a year where I performed testing and material analysis. Skilled in utilizing material characterization tools such as X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-ray tomography to solve problems, and ensure quality is maintained. Superintended the project of implementing ISO 17025:2017 in the laboratory. I Can multitask to achieve individual and team goals. I value excellence, improvement and growth, in addition ensure engineering at large is serving all people and the planet better than ever before by finding solutions that build a sustainable future.

Achieved quality control on raw materials to achieve adherence to customer’s specification. Achieved sample testing form powder samples to solid samples. Performed metallurgical sample preparation on metals to study their physical properties such as density, hardness, porosity, magnetic saturation and coercivity to understand their behavior during service. Achieved analysis on results obtained during to ensure required precision and accuracy is obtained and ensuring the tests are conducted as per procedure in order to produce valid, accurate test results. Monitored, control experiments and collection and presented key data. Furthermore, Calibrated and operated the equipment including troubleshooting in terms of tests and equipment and taking immediate corrective action. Achieved quantitative analysis.

Studies Metallurgical engineering (extractive and physical metallurgy) at Tshwane University of Technology.
