About me

My work sits at the intersection of aerospace engineering, commercial judgment, and systems leadership.

I bring an engineering perspective to business decisions: understanding what the customer needs, making the trade-offs clear, and connecting technical choices to commercial priorities.

My work brings together people across engineering, sales, sourcing, and operations. I focus on the assumptions, risks, and delivery commitments that shape a credible solution and clear value for the customer.

Self-leadership is part of that responsibility. I bring the same attention to how I make decisions, communicate, and turn reflection into consistent action.

Selected work

Judgment in practice.

Examples of how I connect customer requirements, technical decisions, and the work of a team.

Commercial & technical judgment

Connecting customer needs to a viable proposal

Pall Corporation

Context
Technical proposals bring customer requirements together with design, compliance, cost, and delivery considerations.
My contribution
My work has included acting as the technical focal point for proposals, collaborating with engineering, sales, sourcing, and operations on design solutions and proposal content.
Output
Technical proposals supported by preliminary calculations and estimates of design effort and cost.

Team leadership & delivery

Leading a UAV from design through testing

The University of Manchester

Context
The project brief was to design and test a low-cost, CO2-sensing unmanned aerial vehicle.
My contribution
I led a team of five through design, development, fabrication, and testing, and developed flight tests to evaluate performance and mission capability.
Output
A fabricated and tested UAV, with flight tests used to assess performance and mission capability.

Technical analysis & design

Informing rotor design through aerodynamic analysis

Mele Robotics

Context
Synchropter development required aerodynamic analysis alongside design requirements and safety considerations.
My contribution
I applied computational fluid dynamics to rotor optimization and contributed to synchropter design, analysis, and safety assessments.
Output
Aerodynamic analysis and design contributions to support rotor development.
