Design Technology Teacher that is coordinating the Design Thinking signature program at D-PREP International School, Secondary Campus (Honours Engineering) It is a fusion subject, melding elements of traditional aspects, such as woodworking/metalworking, along with 3D printing, Coding, Maker/Fab space and electrical/electronic control with robotic elements. Extracurricular focus is on VEX Robotics and Esports.

Worked as a Design Consultant in various Engineering Projects creating sketches, workflow optimisations as well as custom engineering drawings for factory machinery and conveyor systems

South Africa

Currently working a few different angles during these covid times.I've been contracted to assist in the upgrading of the nut processing facility at a Midlands factory where I have been creating a Factory wide space analysis using 3d modelling, which assist in understanding the floor layout and sizes in relation to production machinery. They are also expanding their Emporium shops to include Cape Town and JHB, so I have been involved with the whole design, feasibility, layout, facade rendering, and shopfitting designs.I'm freelancing with drone startup company currently in the R&D and prototyping phase, where I am assisting with 3D cad modelling, stress analysis, photorealistic renders that can be used to move the project to the next phase, production.I am also working closely with an Irrigation Engineer in feasibility & migration studies to move farming irrigation from a strictly grid based system, to a more off grid, hybrid irrigation systems. I'm working closely with topographical mapping software to showcase the potential of these types of systems, along with potential Solar array cleaning solutions

Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-Do, Korea

I was a homeroom teacher for a group of twelve 4-5 year old Korean kids that are instructed totally in English, as their second language (with assistance from a Korean co-teacher). I taught Language arts, Phonics, Drama, Math and Science concepts in a way that tries to foster each childs' unique learning style, such that they learn through play, enjoyment and support.Pre-K is a challenge that I wanted to experience, because if you're flexable and can 'prepare' oneself for the unpredictable nature that is Pre-K teaching, then one can really say they are adaptable to multiple, unique an unforseen situations.

Seocho-Gu, Seoul, Korea

I taught Creative English classes that focused on robotics and coding comprehension to Elementary School children at a specialized after school education institute that strived to use the PBL (Project Based Learning) framework to integrate various skill-sets into an homogeneous learning environment. I worked towards a intuitive education solution that built inquiring minds while learning various 'subjects' simultaneously and wove them organically together.
