I have acted as a consultant engineer to entrepreneurs, or businesses who want to turn an idea into a real working electronic device ready for manufacture.Designing electronic devices from an entrepreneur’s initial idea and taking them to manufacture has been the focus of my career. I have decades of experience in leading small design teams both as a project engineer within larger organizations and as director and principle engineer of my own company. I am used to managing a project from its initial concept and specification, through the prototyping phase, testing and verification, leading to volume supply. My experience has included designing for and passing CE mark and Australasian standards with a number of products, and the clarity required for straight-forward mass production. I love my field and am hard working, disciplined and self motivated. I really enjoy the intellectual and technical challenge of collaborating in order to design a simple solution to a complex problem. I especially enjoy creating analog circuitry, since it entails solving many small problems which I find fascinating. This enjoyment of the hands on intellectual challenge of electronics engineering has lead me to stay close to the real engineering work rather than moving into different organizational roles.
