Profile:

      As a person, I am somewhere between “engineer” and “people person”.
I am driven to create and inspire.

      I am able to visualise complex systems in my head accurately and swiftly; I can both communicate and deliver a solid, cost effective solution first time.

The people person in me enjoys interacting with, and leading teams to realise projects to their completion effectively, however complex they may be  – while always mindful of commercial and logistical constraints.  

I enjoy interaction with end clients to understand their vision, and design solutions which hit the sweet spot between value and functionality.
