I am a fifth-year Mechatronics Engineering student at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), based in Nairobi, Kenya. I am seeking an attachment or internship opportunity in manufacturing, automation, or design engineering.
I have industrial attachment experience in engineering drafting, mechanical maintenance, and machining. My work has included preparing AutoCAD drawings, interpreting technical documentation, inspecting industrial equipment, and supporting workshop operations.
I am skilled in 2D CAD drafting, basic 3D modelling, dimensioning, tolerancing, fabrication, machining, welding, fitting, and assembly. I also have foundational knowledge of Siemens PLC programming using TIA Portal and HMI operation.
As the founder of Lasernest, I design and produce laser-cut metal art and decor. I manage artwork preparation, cut files, production, customer orders, pricing, and sales for custom metal pieces.
I bring practical workshop discipline, industrial safety awareness, attention to detail, teamwork, and customer service skills. My interests include robotics, industrial automation, renewable energy, 3D printing, and automotive engineering.
Prepared and revised 2D engineering drawings for automotive components and assemblies using AutoCAD. Applied industry drafting standards for dimensioning, tolerancing, layer management, and title blocks.
Interpreted existing technical drawings and updated documentation to reflect engineering design changes.
Supported the mechanical maintenance team with routine maintenance activities and workshop tasks in a steel production plant. Conducted equipment inspections, lubrication, and minor troubleshooting on industrial machinery.
Performed fitting and fabrication work with hand and power tools. Worked within plant safety procedures as part of a multi-skilled maintenance crew.
Operated lathes to machine components according to dimensions specified in engineering drawings. Maintained accuracy and followed established machine-shop practices.
Performed routine maintenance on lathes and other workshop machinery to support operational readiness. Maintained an organized work area and followed machine-shop safety procedures.
Gained practical experience in machining, fabrication, and prototyping by operating lathes, milling machines, and grinders. Practised welding, fitting, assembly, carpentry, foundry work, metal casting, and moulding.
Worked on mechanical and electrical systems, including maintenance of construction plant and motor vehicles, plumbing installation, electrical machines laboratory work, and rapid prototyping through 3D printing.
Founded and operate a Nairobi-based business producing and selling laser-cut metal art and decor. Prepare artwork and cut files, and oversee production from initial design through to finished pieces.
Manage pricing, customer orders, sales, and custom client projects. Built practical experience in sheet-metal fabrication, laser cutting, customer service, and small-business operations while studying full time.
