Summary

A graduate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Mauritius, with training experience at the Central Electricity Board (CEB), the Energy Services Division, Manser Saxon, and Rey Lenferna Ltd. My exposure at the Energy Services Division, Manser Saxon, and Rey Lenferna Ltd. provided me with a sound understanding of building services and low-voltage installations, while my time at CEB offered valuable insight into the full electricity value chain — from generation to transmission and distribution — including projects in protection and procurement. These diverse experiences have equipped me with strong technical and analytical skills, adaptability, and proficiency in modern engineering tools and professional reporting. I am now seeking to leverage this background and contribute as an entry-level engineer within a dynamic and growth-oriented environment.
