Linus Adzanku

Led defined sourcing and process-improvement workstreams across corporate systems, facilities and supplier services.

• Developed procurement-wide standard operating procedures from established team workflows, converting tacit process knowledge into structured, maintainable documentation intended to help new starters contribute sooner, enable version-controlled updates and strengthen operational continuity.
• Led applicant-tracking-system (ATS) supplier engagement and the RFI/RFP evaluation workstream, creating Excel, MATLAB and VBA tools to compare responses with Talent Acquisition and procurement stakeholders.
• Led sourcing of an external digital-signage solution for an office relocation, coordinating requirements, supplier options, requisition/PO administration and supplier onboarding.
• Managed a general-building-services tender, gathering requirements with regional and building managers, preparing RFI/RFP documentation and comparing supplier rate cards for procurement and operations decision-makers.
• Coordinated the speed-gates tender, including supplier communications, response evaluation and site visits.
• Analysed recruitment expenditure with Talent Acquisition for potential changes to commercial terms; supported utility-bill-validation sourcing and contractor information management.
• Worked with Oracle Fusion-related procurement processes and improvements to sourcing data and documentation.

• Reviewed supplier agreements and performance evidence against requirements, organising findings for procurement review using Excel.
• Led the initial stage of a water-cooler-services RFP, including supplier contact, commercial and technical response comparison and cost benchmarking.
• Prepared Excel pivot tables, charts and supplier-performance comparisons for presentations, evaluation and reporting.

Additional employment

Worked alongside university study and other employment in a busy kitchen, maintaining food hygiene and preparation standards, coordinating with colleagues and prioritising competing service demands.

Individual MEng research project · April–June 2025

Developed a transient model of a three-bladed Darrieus turbine in ANSYS Fluent using Transition SST/SBES; extended it with FW-H acoustics at four receivers and MATLAB analysis. At TSR 3.3 and 9 m/s, predicted Cp ≈ 0.13 versus ≈ 0.27 in the reference study. The discrepancy exposed mesh/time-step and computational limitations; reliable acoustic prediction was not established.

Five-person MEng capstone · November 2024–June 2025

Principal responsibility for oxidiser injector design, from concept selection and sizing through CFD, CAD, manufacture and integration, ending in a two-ring impinging configuration. Contributed to shared propulsion sizing and initial nozzle calculations. The 600 N figure was a design target: ignition occurred, but injector–chamber leakage prevented target pressure and sustained combustion.

Personal project · ongoing

Project Twilight: requirements, preliminary sizing and an initial September 2026 CAD visualisation for a fixed-wing mapping aircraft. Detailed aerodynamic validation, final propulsion selection, manufacture and flight testing remain future work.
