Available to hire
I am a senior mechanical engineer with a passion for turning complex ideas into reliable, high‑quality products. I’ve led multidisciplinary teams across nuclear, automotive, aerospace, and defence domains, driving design reviews, risk management, and robust documentation. My hands‑on background spans concept to detailed design using a wide range of materials and manufacturing processes, with a focus on practical, manufacturable solutions.
Known for clear communication and mentoring, I enjoy collaborating with customers and stakeholders to refine concepts, align on technical decisions, and deliver results on time and within budget. Outside of engineering, I’m motivated by problem solving, continuous learning, and applying advanced design and fabrication techniques to real‑world challenges.
