- A collaborative initiative between Defence and Bureau Veritas (BV) aims to establish a comprehensive classification framework to ensure the seaworthiness of Defence Naval vessels (ships and remote autonomous systems). - Lead the development of ANCA's electrical systems and platform survivability classification rules. This includes assessing global maritime regulations, Classification Society guidelines, NATO naval ship code, and Australian standards.- Act as the electrical subject matter expert (SME) in technical working groups with DNE, contributing to the development of rules and solution requirements for electrical systems.

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

- Act as the Systems Engineer and HV Electrical Engineer SME, overseeing several platform major engineering upgrades to integrate onto an existing naval vessel. - Involved in the systems integration for each project, requiring team coordination from system specification to acceptance testing and verification with all relevant stakeholders to ensure all systems, new and existing integrated seamlessly with no impact on capabilities.- Provided mentorship to engineers to improve their understanding of naval vessel electrical power infrastructure and the importance of integrating new major systems on board an existing vessel.- Engage and manage external stakeholders with project delivery on matters affecting electrical systems.

Garden Island (Gi) Dockyard, Sydney, New South Wales

Worked on the following Navy Platform:- FFG- ANZAC- AGS Hydrographic Survey Ship- DDG- LHDExperience:- Involved in the specification development and engineering integration of two unmanned aerial vehicle platforms (Boeing ScanEagle and Schiebel's Camcopter S-100) onto the Navy ships.- Stakeholder engagement with contractors during construction in a timely and prompt manner to ensure constructors can hand the ship back to the Navy on schedule. - Project delivered significant engineering changes (>$1 million projects) (e.g. power distribution, lighting, and electronic racks) to be integrated into existing Naval vessels. Effectively stakeholder engagement to resolve defects raised by design authority promptly, which results in reduced financial and schedule impact to the customer.- Project delivered several design projects which required technical calculations as such earth fault analysis, circuit protection, power balancing, and cable selection calculations, and drafted single line circuit schematic.- Improved stakeholder satisfaction with speedy significant project deliveries to improve quality of life on board Navy ships before its lengthy deployment with no port visit during COVID-19.- Applied system engineering lifecycle processes to develop project constraints and requirements to influence designs.- Seconded to DDG System Program Office (SPO) to conduct an audit of the DDGs against the certificated baseline, OSI and OCD to determine the capability gaps, to assist with developing the 5 and 10-Year Engineering Work Plan.

North Ryde, New South Wales, Australia

Worked on the following Defence Programs:-AIR9000 - Australian Military Airspace Control Communications System (AMACCS) Sustainment Program-CA33 - Battlefield Telecommunications Network (BTN) Through Life Support Program-Minehunter Coastal (MHC) Combat System In-Service Support (ISS)Experiences:- Responsible for the engineering design and deployment of an RF monitoring system to detect RF interference at each RAAF base around Australia. Collaborated with each site’s technicians to successfully conduct system integration and cross-reference against the project’s requirement. - Utilised system engineering lifecycle processes to develop project constraints, requirements to influence designs as well as verification and validation.- Involved in the manufacturing of the RF monitoring system with in-house technicians to drive resolution such as quality and failure analysis, and develop technical solutions at quick notice with a quick turnaround. - Assisted with bugfix development for every half-yearly firmware update with the aid of Bitbucket for incorporating bug fixes into the main branch. This resulted in the smooth transition between software version, version control, and testing on BAE’s hardware simulator before system integration.

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

- Organised and managed a laboratory of 20 students to conduct laboratory activities, give instructions and hold discussions to improve the students' understanding of the material.- Guided students with steps associated to aid their understanding of the laboratory material.- Provided explanation of the laboratory material to students in a clear and concise manner.- Uphold OH&S within the electrical laboratory.- Storyboard, filmed and video edited tutorial videos to assist students with laboratory activities as well as laboratory equipment, such as power supply, oscilloscope, signal generator and more.

Banksmeadow, Nsw

- Developed the electronic and video distribution system for the flight trainer to simulate the onboard analogy instruction as well as a unique 270° field cockpit projector system.- Programmed Microchip PIC32 System on Chip (SoC) micro-controllers to control multiple torque motors with a haptic feedback system, video distribution, video controller to simulate the aircraft's analog instruments, and a LAN to SPI interface board.- Undertook schematic circuit and PCB layout design within Altium to incorporate Microchip SoC, AC/DC power converters, CMOS flash memory, digital I/Os, video converters, and ethernet communications to support SPI interface. In collaboration with a local PCB manufacturer, identified PCB constraints (such as layers, clearances, and vias) and requirements to ensure the final product comes with minimum defects.- Developed several LCD hardware systems that utilise OpenGL with SDL written in C operating on the PIC32 microcontrollers.- Conducted quality inspection of PCB boards received from the PCD manufacturer to reduce troubleshooting effort during the integration phase of multiple hardware.- Supported the software team with debugging and failure analysis investigations as faults can occur from hardware and/or software designs. - Selected by NSW Government, sponsored SynFlyt to be at CeBit 2016 and Avalon Air Show 2017, to demonstrate the prototype of the training simulator to the public and aviation schools. Exhibited the hardware designs and the 270° field projector system to multiple parties of interest and received endless positive feedback.

Lucas Heights, New South Wales, Australia

• Developed an arc flash energy estimating program based in Excel using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) coding language to address Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.• The tool is an arc flash energy calculator that grades each bus terminal in the ANSTO’s electrical network and provides the appropriate PPE category for the maintainers to wear prior to conducting maintenance on live electrical switchboards.• Performed engineering review and comparison of multiple arc flash standards available. Comparisons were conducted between IEEE 1584 Arc Flash and Dr. David Sweeting's arcing fault research papers to determine the most suitable standard ANSTO's electrical network and applications.• Hosted meetings with the Head of Electrical Engineering as well with several electricians from ANSTO to educated and provide awareness of WH&S risk to personnel due to arcing from arc flashes.
