Lead Industrial / Mechanical Design Engineer with nearly 20 years’ experience delivering technically demanding, user-focused products across sectors including consumer electronics, mixed reality, medical, construction and agritech. Equally comfortable leading teams or getting hands-on, I guide projects from concept through to production—combining engineering rigour with creative problem-solving. As co-founder of a design consultancy and lead on multi-disciplinary teams, I’ve built a track record of commercially successful, manufacturable solutions. I bring a deep interest in UAS platforms, strong cross-functional leadership, and a calm, decisive approach shaped by real-world emergency service experience. Outside of work, you’ll find me flying FPV drones, driving fire engines, or losing a LEGO brawl with my kids.
