Overview #
The best engineering work begins with a question worth investigating.
My practice brings together hardware, software and experimentation. I have worked on sensor-led systems, autonomous prototypes, telemetry concepts, analytical dashboards and computer-vision applications. The common thread is turning technical questions into testable systems.
My background is in Computer Science and Engineering, with continuing postgraduate study in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I use Python, OpenCV, microcontrollers, sensor networks and analytics tools to connect physical systems to software. Alongside hands-on engineering, I coordinate project teams, troubleshoot prototypes, document experiments and mentor students. My lunar-rover work includes research into robotic sampling, onboard analysis and autonomy.
As a founder, I also work across four developing ventures spanning aerospace, software engineering, consumer services and autonomous mobility. More than 120 people have engaged with initiatives in this wider ecosystem, based on my own reported participation figure.
This portfolio documents research interests, prototype work and professional experience. Where a system is experimental, it is described as such.
