Professional Engineer with over 10 years experience from various facets of engineering including motorsport, defense and the transportation industry. Combining strong knowledge of a vast range of manufacturing methods with sound design methodology to deliver high performing solutions. With strong values and ambitions I hold myself to account by the moto of "Be more than Better, be Different"Being a creator from a young age in various forms whether it was art, music or design I naturally found myself using my STEM skills and creativity to design anything I could involve myself in. What solidified my interest in engineering as a career was the Energy Breakthrough project in high school, an inter high school competition to design and race a human powered vehicle. From there it was the FSAE race car team during my university years and finally landing my first professional engineering job at Holinger Engineering, designing high performance automotive components with notable projects such as Tony Quinn's high climb car driveline and several other R&D products. With the desire to continually learn and lead, I moved to the transportation industry at MaxiTRANS where I was able prove my leadership skills, mentoring a design team of up to 12 people and being accountable for the quality and success of a large range of products. My main achievement was rebuilding a team of mostly junior engineers after a big shift in business direction and experience, to form a high performing, reliable group of individuals.I've had a taste of defense force projects, taking a short term role as the project manager at Albins Performance Transmissions with my primary responsibly of delivering the end of the Land 121 phase 4 Hawkei contract. The role then diversified into business capacity planning, production management and continuous improvement projects. A key highlight was being responsible for managing the tendering process and preferred supplier on-boarding of the new Land 400 phase 3 contract.Throughout my career I have proven my ability in mechanical design while maintaining high customer relations, with roles that were highly flexible, requiring me to move between an office and manufacturing environment constantly. Combined with my leadership skills, I have been responsible for a large group of products with a design team of up to 12 people and a large range of responsibilities from sales enquiry stage, right through to the quality of design, project management, people management, scheduling, compliance, manufacturing liaison and after market support.

Listed skills include Solidworks, Mechanical Engineering, Solidworks Fea Suite, Spiral Bevel And Hypoid Gearing, and 10 others.
