      Solving problems using maths and science. I also love drawing using technical drawing skills and CAD (computer aided design) software and then using 3D printers to see my designs come to life!

      I love that I’m always learning new things and solving problems. My favourite is sitting down and discussing out a problem with my co-workers it can be like trying to solve a puzzle it’s fun. Also, you always feel great when you solve it.

      The best thing about engineering for me is figuring out a problem that actually makes a difference to someone. The feeling when you actually figure something out and understand the problem is great!

      My favourite part of being an engineer is getting my brain challenged on a daily basis. Most of the time, it is not possible to solve the problem easily, but when I finally solve the problem, there is no better feeling.
      Also, most of my work is related to developing solutions for healthcare applications, and it gives me immense satisfaction that, in some way, my work is making a difference in the world.
