I’m a hardware and integration engineer working across mechanical design, electronics, software and fabrication. I take ideas from drawings and early prototypes through to systems that work reliably in the real world.

My background spans energy infrastructure, large-scale installations, subsea robotics and production software, including several years as a software engineer at Slalom.

I hold a dual Master’s in Innovation Design Engineering from Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art, where my thesis focused on developing a remotely operated subsea robot for corrosion repair on offshore steel infrastructure.

I currently work as a Mechanical Engineer at Rivan, developing systems that produce synthetic methane from water and air.

Outside work, I’m usually surfing, sailing or in the workshop.
