Personal Summary
I’m working as External Project Collaborator in Aerospace and Mechanical Department (Sapienza University
of Rome). Previously, I worked as Mechanical Design Intern on Design & Analysis of Naval Vehicles in
Sapienza University of Rome. I’m a Graduate in Product Design (Concentrate on Design & Development of
Products) and UnderGraduate in Mechanical Engineering. By those previous Work Experiences, I attained
skills in Computer Aided Design, FEM Analysis, Communication, Customer relation, Time Management and
Problem Solving. I have good knowledge in Mechanical Designing software’s like CATIA v5, SOLIDWORKS,
RHINOCEROS, INVENTOR, CREO, AUTOCAD & some basic knowledge in Analysis Software like Ansys &
Hyperworks. I also have hands on experience in FEM and CFD analysis by using these software’s.
As my skills and Experience are in both Engineering and Design field I’m interested to apply for Mechanical
Designer/Engineer post.
