01 / Foundation

The Engineering Foundation

I am David Chinedu Opara, a Materials and Metallurgical Engineer passionate about leveraging software, artificial intelligence, and automation to solve complex physical and manufacturing challenges.

My background in materials science provides a rigorous understanding of microstructures, mechanical properties, processing methods, and manufacturing lifecycles. My technology journey is focused on acquiring software engineering skills to transform this domain expertise into intelligent systems.

Core Education & Credential

Degree: Bachelor of Engineering in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering

Institution: Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO)

Classification: Second Class Upper Honours (2018–2024)

Final Year Thesis: Mechanical properties of biomedical composite using natural reinforcement (coconut shell) for biomedical implants.

02 / Industrial Exposure

Inside the Manufacturing Environment

NYSC Mechanical Intern — Dangote Cement Plant, Gboko, Benue State (2025–2026)

Hands-on exposure to heavy industrial machinery and cement production lifecycles taught me that real engineering is an integrated system of materials, maintenance, safety, and equipment reliability.
