Summary
As a passionate mechanical engineering graduate, my academic journey has been deeply rooted in understanding and improving mechanical systems that drive technological innovation—particularly within the evolving landscape of the automotive industry. My interest in the sector has grown alongside the global shift toward electrification, energy efficiency, and sustainable mobility. Through my coursework and hands-on projects, I have developed a strong foundation in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and control systems—skills that are directly applicable to electric vehicle (EV) powertrains, battery thermal management, and regenerative braking systems. The EV industry presents an exciting opportunity to apply mechanical engineering principles in reimaging how vehicles are designed, powered, and integrated into smarter, cleaner transportation networks. I am driven to contribute to the advancement of sustainable automotive technologies and to help accelerate the transition to electric mobility through engineering solutions that are not only innovative but also environmentally responsible.

Halliburton
07.2023 - 09.2023
- I was involved in the maintenance and calibration of downhole tools, particularly Measurement While Drilling (MWD), and Logging While Drilling (LWD) systems.
- I assisted field engineers with pre-job configuration, sensor testing, and troubleshooting, using platforms such as INSITE® and Sperry TechLink.
- I also supported quality assurance processes for Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) components, ensuring each tool met operational specifications before deployment to the field.
- I worked with the logistics team to manage tool inventory using SAP, helping to track critical assets and consumables.
This hands-on experience gave me valuable insight into the technical operations behind service delivery, and I gained a solid understanding of how service centers play a central role in ensuring equipment reliability and operational readiness. While I appreciated the opportunity to work within the oil and gas industry, and recognized its technical depth and operational scale, I came to realize that my long-term interests and values align more closely with industries focused on sustainable energy and advanced technologies. Nonetheless, the skills and discipline I developed during this internship have equipped me with a strong foundation applicable across a wide range of engineering sectors.
