About
I am a Mechatronics Engineer combining mechanical engineering, automation, robotics and field-service experience. My focus is on solving practical engineering problems across the full machine lifecycle — from design and integration to commissioning, troubleshooting, service and continuous improvement.
My profile is built around transferable engineering capability across industrial automation, marine systems, medical equipment and pharma equipment. I bring a hands-on combination of mechanics, controls, troubleshooting, commissioning and machine development.
The portfolio is intentionally focused on engineering outcomes rather than job titles: what the problem was, what I did, how the system was integrated and what changed as a result.
Let's build something reliable.
Open to engineering opportunities in automation, machine development, field service, marine, medical equipment and pharma equipment.
