About me

Who am I

Chartered Mechanical Engineer with 10 years of experience leading applied research at the intersection of manufacturing and construction. I work across disciplines and borders, bringing together large-scale 3D printing, robotics, digital fabrication, generative design, sensor technology, and computer vision to build things that haven't been built before.

I present regularly at international conferences and have led high-value collaborations across Europe, the US, and beyond.

My values

The projects I care most about are ones where the engineering actually matters. For me that means sustainability and climate resilience, finding ways to build more efficiently, waste less, and use better materials. I'm particularly interested in circular, bio-based materials, and distributed manufacturing: the idea that fabrication capability doesn't have to be centralised in a few large facilities.

How I work

I work well across disciplines because I genuinely enjoy understanding the project as a whole. On any given project I might be leading domain experts or diving in to technical work myself anywhere along the design-to-make pipeline, be it CAD design, structural simulation, Python coding, mechanical testing, CNC machining, or operating robot arms.

Early Career

I'm a hands-on engineer at heart. My first job after university was in Autodesk's Birmingham Tech Centre, programming and operating robots, 3D printers, and all other workshop equipment. For me, this was incredibly important to understand the real challenges of design and manufacture, not just the software tools.

How I relax

Skiing, climbing, skydiving... if it's outdoors and involves some risk management, I'm probably interested. I'm a licenced skydiver and have competed with both British and Dutch national teams. I love freeride skiing, and spend as much time as possible in the mountains in winter.
