I'm an engineer with experience in the aerospace and defence sectors. I've worked in roles that emphasize testing, evaluation, and improvement of system performance, with a strong focus on safety and efficiency. My experience spans testing aerospace engines at Element and working as a mechanical consultant at BAE Systems.

With a diverse engineering background spanning aerospace, building restoration, and defence, I have developed a specialty in safety and risk reduction, as well as data-driven performance optimization. In my role at Element, I've honed my skills in aerospace engine testing and evaluation, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to ensure superior product design and performance.

Earlier, as a Mechanical Consultant at BAE Systems, I enhanced my teamwork skills and deepened my understanding of safety in design and operations while working on a naval drone project. I'm proficient with engineering tools such as SolidWorks, ANSYS, Multisim, and MATLAB. My experiences have equipped me to tackle complex challenges and deliver innovative solutions.

I hold an MEng Hons in Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan). My comprehensive course structure provided a thorough grounding in core concepts, including Engineering Analysis, Design & Science, Aerospace Vehicle Configurations, Pilot Operations (PPL and ATPL), and Aircraft Design, Structure, System & Manufacture.

Special attention was given to Thermofluids, Aeromechanics, and Aero Propulsion, which helped me gain a deep understanding of Aerospace Structural Analysis. Moreover, modules like Flight Dynamics, Control System Design, Modelling Vehicle Dynamics, and CAD Programming enriched my practical knowledge, allowing me to effectively apply the theoretical concepts to real-life scenarios.

The course also covered subjects such as Aeroelasticity, Circuits & Electronics, and the Application of Engineering Design, equipping me with the necessary skill set to understand and work with a variety of aerospace-related technical applications.
