Oxford, England, United Kingdom

I applied a systems engineering approach to product management, where my role encompassed a wide array of responsibilities, both technical and non-technical, with a focus on delivering new solutions to emerging market areas.🌐 International Impact:Orchestrated the Systems Engineering process for new products, overseeing their development, and expansion in international markets. My work contributed to the successful rollout of 1500 radar systems across the major highways in the UK. These pioneering smart highways technologies significantly enhanced efficiency and safety.🛠 Technical Expertise:Spearheaded data science-driven solutions for complex technical challenges. Notably, I led the development of radar traffic counting and classification using Python and Machine Learning tools, achieving a 30% increase in accuracy. This enhanced system found applications in flagship projects internationally in the US and New Zealand, catering to diverse customer needs and technical specifications.🤝 Collaboration and Thought Leadership:Fostered strategic collaborations with academic institutions, including Imperial College London, to drive research initiatives and establish strong partnerships for product development. Also acted as the lead speaker in several Webinars and Conferences around the world

United Kingdom

Moved to the UK from Australia in order to pursue international and Tech experience. Started at Navtech Radar as a Project Engineer, responsible for managing projects globally in Automatic Incident Detection on Highways. Most notably, this includes managing the delivery and solution of an over 100 radar system in a major tunnel project in Ryfast, Norway, deemed one of the longest/deepest subsea tunnels in the world. The system was delivered successfully, and operational since, with these radar sensors now termed as the "eyes to the tunnel" by the Head of Operations.Other projects include Australia deployment and system integration into STREAMS network, and Autonomous vehicle project in Austria.Additional roles include assisting Navtech Radar Sales and R&D teams in technical support of new/existing clients, and developing experiments to test our new radar systems in controlled environments.

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Transport for NSW graduate program, doing rotational work around the transport cluster. On my rotation at Sydney Trains, created Decision Making Models for maintenance work for the 1400km Sydney rail network that enabled informed decisions on the type of rail maintenance strategy to employ on a section of rail, at any given point in timeOn my rotation at the Roads and Maritime Services sector, I worked in compliance for vehicle standards. Mixing engineering knowledge with law in order to ensure that the vehicles presented are compliant to Australian design rules and legislation. Specialising in vehicle brake assessment/analysis and providing valuable input into the development of government documents such as the brake assessment manual

Adelaide, Australia

Graduate Engineer working on innovative design projects, tender biddings and project management practices. Most notable achievement at Protop includes designing a safe bullet back stop for a firing range. This was completed using CAD software (Autodesk Inventor) and verified through stress analysis calculations and modelling. Resulted in a working system for the club, to safely collect and deposit bullets that missed the targets
