As a kid, I spent countless hours in my dad’s garage, driven by curiosity and a passion for building and improving things, from constructing simple wooden model aircraft to building a compact wind turbine to charge my phone, or modifying cheap remote control cars to reduce weight and improve performance. This hands on experimentation sparked a lasting interest in engineering and problem solving.
That curiosity ultimately led me to pursue and complete a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. I am motivated by solving complex engineering challenges and take pride in seeing problems through to effective and well considered solutions. I strongly believe that every problem has a solution and I remain persistent until I achieve the desired outcome.
I have six years of experience as a mechanical engineer, specialising in technical design, which is where I am most engaged. My work focuses on system level design, first principles engineering, research, and finite element analysis. I am comfortable taking projects from concept through detailed design, manufacturing, and testing, working within multidisciplinary teams while maintaining ownership and accountability throughout.
