Eighteen years ago I started at a Notified Body as a fish out of water. With over fifteen years of my life in design and development, and than a decade in regulatory and quality medical device compliance, I am an engineer in a legal world. I like to think that my background, and my love of problem solving, makes me a highly effective partner for all your medical device compliance needs.With engineering always having had the precision that the law lacked, I preferred to design and develop things. I now apply engineering solutions to medical device compliance.Whether it is a tool for demonstrating appropriate Post-Market Surveillance, or a method for making clinical evaluation reports easy to update, engineering the correct solution is a skill. Will the sledgehammer approach of applying resources, both financial and human, be the most effective, or is there space for a more elegant, engineered solution? I get genuine satisfaction from solving regulatory issues, whether it be conducting a Gap Analysis or putting together a Technical File. Aside from my love of design, engineering and mathematics, I am passionate about teaching, something which has threaded its way throughout my entire career. I like to believe that, when I leave a client, the job is completed to their satisfaction and they possess the skill set to independently deal with any similar issues. The aim is to show you how to solve the problems. When I’m not consulting on medical device compliance, I’m working on my own design projects, and my boat.
